How to move to a fork after cloning
So you've cloned somebody's repo from github, but now you want to fork it and contribute back. Never fear!
Technically, when you fork "origin" should be your fork and "upstream" should be the project you forked; however, if you're willing to break this convention then it's easy.
* Off the top of my head *
1. Fork their repo on Github
2. In your local, add a new remote to your fork; then fetch it, and push your changes up to it
git remote add my-fork [email protected]
# Configure colors, if available.
if [ -x /usr/bin/tput ] && tput setaf 1 >&/dev/null; then
c_reset='\[\e[0m\]'
c_user='\[\e[0;32m\]'
c_path='\[\e[1;34m\]'
c_git_clean='\[\e[0;37m\]'
c_git_staged='\[\e[0;32m\]'
c_git_unstaged='\[\e[0;31m\]'
else

Launch Sublime Text 2 from the Mac OS X Terminal

Launch Sublime Text 2 from the Mac OS X Terminal

Sublime Text 2 ships with a CLI called subl (why not "sublime", go figure). This utility is hidden in the following folder (assuming you installed Sublime in /Applications like normal folk. If this following line opens Sublime Text for you, then bingo, you're ready.

open /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl

You can find more (official) details about subl here: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/osx_command_line.html

Setting Up Clojure on OS X

Setting Up Clojure on OS X

I spent a lot of time trying to find a pretty optimal (for me) setup for Clojure… at the same time I was trying to dive in and learn it. This is never optimal; you shouldn't be fighting the environment while trying to learn something.

I feel like I went through a lot of pain searching Google, StackOverflow, blogs, and other sites for random tidbits of information and instructions.

This is a comprehensive "what I learned and what I ended up doing" that will hopefully be of use to others and act as a journal for myself if I ever have to do it again. I want to be very step-by-step and explain what's happening (and why) at each step.

Step 1: Getting Clojure (1.3)

thoughts on branching and pull requests

here's how i think of branching.

purpose of branching

you need to write some code. since you may end up writing good code, but there's a chance you'll write bad code, branches allow you to freely commit your changes as you go along without affecting the core of the project. if you end up with something you don't like, you can clip the branch like nothing ever happened.

i think branches fall into a few categories.
