Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j

Install a new Ruby with rbenv on Mac OS (and make yourself a superhero)

If you're doing stuff with Ruby on a Mac, e.g. installling Jekyll or something, by default you'll end up having to use the sudo command to do stuff, since the permission to modify the default config is not available to your user account.

This sucks and should be avoided. Here's how to fix that.

Installing a new Ruby

To make this better, we are going install a new, custom Ruby. This used to be a big, scary thing, but thanks to the awesome tools Homebrew and rbenv, it's a snap.*

A word of warning: you will have to use Terminal to install this stuff. If you are uncomfortable with text, words, and doing stuff with your computer beyond pointing and hoping, this may not work well for you. But if that's the case, I'm not sure why you were trying to use Ruby in the first place.

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

This tutorial as a series of videos

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

This guide shows how to set up a PHP and MySQL development environment using OSX's built-in Apache, using Homebrew to install necessary components. With this strategy, you can use different versions of PHP for certain virtual hosts.

VirtualHostX is a convenient way to manage development sites, but not required.

Install PHP and MySQL with Homebrew

brew update
brew install php56
brew install php56-mcrypt
brew install mysql

Open Conemu
Open Settings -> Tasks or go to new tab button -> Setup tasks.
Click + to add a new task
Enter the name as Git Bash or whatever you like

Task parameters:

 /icon "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\git.ico" /dir "C:\_git"

Command:

	# Initial updates and necessary tools
	aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade && \
	aptitude install gcc gcc-4.4 gcc-4.5 gcc-4.6 gcc-4.7 git-core binutils curl \
	bcc psmisc htop hdparm cpufrequtils screen autoconf \
	make texinfo bc build-essential bzip2 libbz2-dev \
	zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline6 libreadline6-dev \
	sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev ncurses-dev sudo \
	libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
