tigt / git-branch-to-favicon.js

Created March 18, 2020 21:10

Creates an SVG string that can be used as a favicon across different Git branches. Actually getting this into the browser is sadly project-specific.

	const { execSync } = require('child_process')
	const { createHash } = require('crypto')
	const invertColor = require('invert-color')

	const branchName = execSync('git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD')
	const hash = createHash('sha256')
	hash.update(branchName)
	const color = '#' + hash.digest().toString('hex').substring(0, 6)
	const invertedColor = invertColor(color, true)

DerLobi / pre-commit

Last active May 9, 2022 09:45

Don't commit focused tests. Use this as a pre-commit hook and the commit won't succeed if you have staged changes that contain `fdescribe`, `fcontext`, `fit`, `fspecify` or `fexample`. Copy this file as `pre-commit` into the `.git/hooks` folder of your repository (create it if neccessary) and chmod +x the file.

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# This pre-commit hook looks for `fdescribe`, `fcontext`, `fit`, `fspecify` and `fexample` in the
	# staged files and exits with an error code of 1 if there are such changes.
	#

	STATUS=0

	DESCRIBEFILES=$(git diff --staged -G"^\s*fdescribe\(" --name-only \| wc -l)

Script to strip various iTunes atoms from purchased AAC files via AtomicParsley.

	#!/usr/bin/env ruby

	# usage: stripiT.rb file1.m4a file2.m4a file3.m4a
	# automatically outputs to file1 - stripped.m4a, file2 - stripped.m4a, and so on.

	# Script to remove extraneous/unwanted atoms from iTunes purchased files by way of AtomicParsley.
	# Output should be comparable to the atoms left over after reencoding the file in iTunes itself.
	# I only care about songs, so I have no clue how well this applies to video files
	# Some information taken from: https://code.google.com/p/mp4v2/wiki/iTunesMetadata
