Why I love zsh (and hate being forced to use bash)

Why I love zsh (and hate being forced to use bash)

  • Smarter completion. A few examples:
  • context sensitive -- if you have file "name1" and directory "name2", "cd nam<TAB>" completes to "name2/"
  • "tar xf <TAB>" completes to tarballs only. "unrar x <TAB>" completes to RARs only. etc.
  • rsync / scp completion: "rsync host:anything/<TAB>" shows you files on host under anything/
  • also works with rsync:// URLs
  • SSH host completion from ~/.ssh/config & ~/.ssh/known_hosts
  • lots of other smart completions: Rake tasks, git commands & SHAs, dpkg packages, dash-options for most commands, etc etc.

A Capistrano Rails Guide

A Capistrano Rails Guide

by Jonathan Rochkind, http://bibwild.wordpress.com

why cap?

Capistrano automates pushing out a new version of your application to a deployment location.

I've been writing and deploying Rails apps for a while, but I avoided using Capistrano until recently. I've got a pretty simple one-host deployment, and even though everyone said Capistrano was great, every time I tried to get started I just got snowed under not being able to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and figured I wasn't having that much trouble doing it "manually".

Hack to set vagrant host name (better sol'n is middleware, just wait)
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
# Make the VM host name the name of the containing folder by default
host = File.basename(Vagrant::Environment.new.root_path || __FILE__).gsub(/_/, '-')
config.vm.host_name = "#{host}.vagrantup.com"
end
