Powerline-patched Monaco for Windows and OSX

Powerline-patched Monaco for Windows and OSX

This font is manually patched with Fontforge. It includes the glyphs from DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline.

I recommend DirectWrite-patched VIM builds. I'm using KaoriYa's build (http://www.kaoriya.net/software/vim/)

Usage

Add the following lines to your .vimrc/_vimrc:

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.

Deploy to `gh-pages` from a `dist` folder on the master branch. Useful for use with [yeoman](http://yeoman.io).

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).
