Installing a Gem on Heroku from a Private GitHub Repo

Sometimes you want to use a gem on Heroku that is in a private repository on GitHub.

Using git over http you can authenticate to GitHub using basic authentication. However, we don't want to embed usernames and passwords in Gemfiles. Instead, we can use authentication tokens.

  1. Get an OAuth Token from GitHub

First you will need to get an OAuth Token from GitHub using your own username and "note"

dandrews / Inline SVG on Rails.md
Created February 4, 2014 00:32 — forked from adamjmurray/Inline SVG on Rails.md

I wanted to use inline SVG in a rails app. Two steps were needed to enable this:

  1. Set content type to application/xhtml+xml. I enabled this globally by adding this to application_controller.rb

     before_filter{ response.content_type = 'application/xhtml+xml' }

  2. Indicate we're using XHTML in the <html> tag. I enabled this globally in application.html.erb:

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert $1 -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 $2
