Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird, since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh

curl -L https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh | sh

and then you change your shell to zsh

chsh -s `which zsh`

and then restart

HOWTO: Using FileMerge (opendiff) with Git on OSX

FileMerge (opendiff) can really come in handy when you need to visually compare merging conflicts. Other times it's just a nice visual way to review your days work.

The following method works by creating a simple bash script (git-diff-cmd.sh) that sets us up with the proper command line arguments for Git to pass off files to FileMerge.

	inoremap <silent> <Bar> <Bar><Esc>:call <SID>align()<CR>a

	function! s:align()
	let p = '^\s\|\s.\s\|\s*$'
	if exists(':Tabularize') && getline('.') =~# '^\s*\|' && (getline(line('.')-1) =~# p \|\| getline(line('.')+1) =~# p)
	let column = strlen(substitute(getline('.')[0:col('.')],'[^\|]','','g'))
	let position = strlen(matchstr(getline('.')[0:col('.')],'.\|\s\zs.*'))
	Tabularize/\|/l1
	normal! 0
	call search(repeat('[^\|]*\|',column).'\s\{-\}'.repeat('.',position),'ce',line('.'))

	1. heroku pgbackups:capture
	2. heroku pgbackups:url <backup_num> #=>backup_url
	- get backup_num with cmd "heroku pgbackups"
	3. curl -o latest.dump <backup_url>

	Then locally do:
	$ pg_restore --verbose --clean --no-acl --no-owner -h localhost -U myuser -d mydb latest.dump
