Pushing to Multiple Git Repos

If a project has to have multiple git repos (e.g. Bitbucket and Github) then it's better that they remain in sync.

Usually this would involve pushing each branch to each repo in turn, but actually Git allows pushing to multiple repos in one go.

If in doubt about what git is doing when you run these commands, just

# installed by winget
winget install PowerShell-Preview
winget install git
git config --global user.name "Christophe Dervieux"
git config --global user.email christophe.dervieux@gmail.com
winget install rstudio
winget install vscode
winget install -e R
winget install Github.GithubDesktop

Obsidian SASS theme switching tools

I was building up a small library of css snippets, and mixing and matching via copy-paste was getting tiresome.
So, I knocked myself up a little solution using https://sass-lang.com/
To use this solution, you need to follow the instructions on the website to install the SASS command line utility.

Instructions

For my purposes, I created a subfolder in my Obsidian vault called ./.themes where my obsidian.scss file lives. I also created a subfolder for mixins (./.themes/mixins) containing small snippets like "Andy Matuschak" mode and collapsing sidebars (and my preferred custom colours for my Base2Tone theme)

Getting Docker

Docker is available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

MacOS

Docker for Mac is best installed with Homebrew and Homebrew Cask. For other ways to install on MacOS, see Install Docker for Mac in Docker's docs.

	MinGW doesn't provide a linux-like environment, that is MSYS(2) and/or Cygwin

	Cygwin is an attempt to create a complete UNIX/POSIX environment on Windows.
	MinGW is a C/C++ compiler suite which allows you to create Windows executables - you only
	need the normal MSVC runtimes, which are part of any normal Microsoft Windows installation.

	MinGW provides headers and libraries so that GCC (a compiler suite,
	not just a "unix/linux compiler") can be built and used against the Windows C runtime.
