Explain Mocha's testing framework - describe(), it() and before()/etc hooks
// # Mocha Guide to Testing
// Objective is to explain describe(), it(), and before()/etc hooks
// 1. `describe()` is merely for grouping, which you can nest as deep
// 2. `it()` is a test case
// 3. `before()`, `beforeEach()`, `after()`, `afterEach()` are hooks to run
// before/after first/each it() or describe().
//
// Which means, `before()` is run before first it()/describe()

Setting up a remote pair station with SSH + TMUX and/or Reverse SSH Tunnel

Disclaimer: The following examples try to give an overview of the process followed in different scenarios. Some commands were actually written from memory. Some tools might exist simplifying all this. Furthermore, I'm no expert so if anyone ever reads this and knows any improvement, please let me know.

Case 1: Direct access to Pairing Station

Given that the Guest User can access the Pairing Station directly, either because the station is publicly available or because NAT port forwarding can be used, there's only one thing we need to do, give ssh access to the Guest User by adding his ssh public key to our Local User (pair) .ssh/authorized_keys file.

The local user would open up a tmux session with

tmux new-session -s pairing

This sets up keybindings in tmux that allow you to copy/paste to/from your OS X clipboard from tmux running inside an SSH connection to a remote host. Partially borrowed from http://seancoates.com/blogs/remote-pbcopy
