How to create self-signed SSL certificates for localhost

Option 1

Create a directory in your user root directory where we will store the necessary generated files.

$ cd ~/
$ mkdir .localhost
$ cd .localhost

Now run this single command and you will have both a certificate and private key which was used to sign the certificate.

Change the Default Save Location of Screenshots in Mac OS X

This is how you change the default save location of screenshots to anywhere you want in Mac OS X.

Create a New Folder

Choose a location, like the Downloads folder and create a folder called Screenshots (or whatever you'd like) where your screenshots will now be saved. In this example I created a folder called Screenshots in my Downloads folder. You will need the path to this folder in the next step so remember what it is. My path to the folder is ~/Downloads/Screenshots; you don't need the full path and the tilda (~) represents the symbolic link to my home folder - i.e. /Users/macbookpro/ or /Users/your_name/.

Setting the New Location

Open up your Terminal application found in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and enter the following command.

$ defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Downloads/Screenshots

RavenDB SSL Certificate Generator

A quick note on the command for generating a valid SSL certificate for [RavenDB][raven] using openssl. You will need to have followed [this tutorial][howto] to be able to simply run this one command below. If you don't have a valid localhost SSL certificate with a valid Certificate Authority keychain file then this won't work. The [tutorial][howto] covers this all so don't fret.

Generate SSL Certificate

$ cd ~/.localhost/ca/intermediate
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -out ravendb/certificate.pfx -inkey private/localhost.key.pem \
      -in certs/localhost.cert.pem -certfile certs/ca-chain.cert.pem

Sublimerge 3 (beta) has just been installed. Thanks for trying it out!

It is highly recommended to restart Sublime Text before first use.

cURL retries and file-resume command

Because I need to be able to download files with the option to resume with our shitty South African Internet connectivity.

$ curl -O -C - --retry 4 --progress-bar "FILE_URL"

Apologies for taking so long to respond to your question. It's been a long time since I made these changes so I'll try my best to explain it all 😄.

1. `*.xcodeproj/`

There is a good [thread over here][1] that gets into some more specifics but the issue with excluding the .xcodeproj/ in its entirety is that you are excluding files that shouldn't be excluded and may need to be shared across development team members. The additional rules I added address this problem of simply excluding the entire folder.

`.xcodeproj/` structure

In order to address the additional rules I added in [patch-1][patch] I have included the follow tree output of an Xcode project; in particular, the .xcodeproj/ folder. I will use this to reference rules #2, #3 and #4 below.
