Resources for Community Professionals.md

I co-host The Community Pulse with Jason Hand, and with every episode, we get a fantastic list of resources for community professionals. I've begun this gist as a way to keep track of them all. I'm also pulling some of the resources from CMX Hub and CMGRChat (all notes/reviews pulled from these sites). Am I missing anything? Please leave a comment with any books, blogposts, videos, or organizations you'd like to see represented!

Disclaimer:

For the most part, these are not resources I have read/watched/listened to myself. My apologies in advance if there is anything offensive in them. Please leave a comment below or reach out to me on Twitter if there is anything you find that is off-color or untoward in any way.

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

The CouchDB replicator database

1. Introduction to the replicator database

A database where you PUT/POST documents to trigger replications and you DELETE to cancel ongoing replications. These documents have exactly the same content as the JSON objects we used to POST to /_replicate/ (fields "source", "target", "create_target", "continuous", "doc_ids", "filter", "query_params".

Replication documents can have a user defined "_id". Design documents (and _local documents) added to the replicator database are ignored.

The default name of this database is _replicator. The name can be changed in the .ini configuration, section [replicator], parameter db.
