Chrome Extensions for Developers

Below is a list of Chrome extensions that I've found to be especially helpful for software development. There's a section for Chrome Extensions by Google, and another section for Chrome Extensions for GitHub.

Developer Extensions

Clear Cache - A simple extension that clears your browser cache (and optionally history, cookies, etc) with a single click. I use this extension multiple times per day.
Library Sniffer - Identifies the technologies running any web page.

p. Using git-rebase helps create clean commit trees and makes keeping your code up-to-date with the current state of the upstream master easy. Here's how it works.

p. Let's say you're working on Issue #212 a new plugin in your own branch and you start with something like this:


          1---2---3 #212-my-new-plugin
         /
    A---B #master

The workflow of the Todo.txt Touch project says that the master branch of ginatrapani/todo.txt-touch is the golden branch from which all development is based off of.

In order to keep this easy to navigate, it is asked that you squash your commits down to a few, or one, discrete changesets before submitting a pull request. Fixing a bug will usually only need one commit, while a larger feature might contain a couple of separate improvements that is easier to track through different commits.

Once you have rebased your work on top of the latest state of the upstream master, you may have several commits related to the issue you were working on. Once everything is done, squash them into a single commit with a descriptive message, like "Issue #100: Retweet bugfix."

To squash four commits into one, do the following:

$ git rebase -i HEAD~4

Basic HTML Meta Tags

<meta charset='UTF-8'>
<meta name='keywords' content='your, tags'>
<meta name='description' content='150 words'>
<meta name='subject' content='your website's subject'>
<meta name='copyright' content='company name'>

Switch to Canary channel

$ shell
$ sudo su
$ update_engine_client -channel=canary-channel -update

Some tutorials say that the command live_in_a_coal_mine will take you to canary, but this does not work.
