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:

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Server-level CORS in NGINX

NGINX does weird things with If statements: http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil

It turns out, "if" inside a location directive w/ proxy_pass disables that implied URL-rewriting function. So, for example:

location /some/url/ {
  proxy_pass http://backend/api/;
  # example client url: http://server/some/url/data
  # URL sent to proxy: http://backend/api/data
}
