Working With Github Pages

The FAQ maintained by Github covers most stumbling blocks, some other tips and tricks supplied here.

Gitignore

Add _site to .gitignore. The generated site should not be uploaded to Github since its gets generated by github.

Working With Code Partials

If you alloc init an NSCalendar, you'll notice that New Year's Eve falls on a Monday this year, a.k.a. "the day NSHipster is published every week". What fun!

So in celebration of the upcoming year++, I thought it'd be fun to compile a list of some of your favorite tips and tricks of the trade. Submit your favorite piece of Objective-C trivia, framework arcana, hidden Xcode feature, or anything else you think is cool, and you could have it featured in the year-end blowout article. Just comment on this gist below!

Here are a few examples of the kind of things I'd like to see:

	var parser = document.createElement('a');
	parser.href = "http://example.com:3000/pathname/?search=test#hash";

	parser.protocol; // => "http:"
	parser.hostname; // => "example.com"
	parser.port; // => "3000"
	parser.pathname; // => "/pathname/"
	parser.search; // => "?search=test"
	parser.hash; // => "#hash"
	parser.host; // => "example.com:3000"

	# Mac OS X Lion introduced a new, iOS-like context menu when you press and hold a key
	# that enables you to choose a character from a menu of options. If you are on Lion
	# try it by pressing and holding down 'e' in any app that uses the default NSTextField
	# for input.
	#
	# It's a nice feature and continues the blending of Mac OS X and iOS features. However,
	# it's a nightmare to deal with in Sublime Text if you're running Vintage (Vim) mode,
	# as it means you cannot press and hold h/j/k/l to move through your file. You have
	# to repeatedly press the keys to navigate.
