Creating a Happy Git Environment on OS X

brew install git bash-completion

Configure things:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Probably not the best way to do things these days.

If your remote username is different from your OS X username, edit your ~/.ssh/config file like so:

Host whathaveyou.com
    User remote_username

Generating your keys

github recently switched to an https scheme as the default for cloning repos. as a side effect you may suddenly be prompted for a 'Username' and 'Password' when you push where, previously, you were able to do so without typing in credentials. the solution is to cause git to cache https credentials which is easy, since git uses curl under the covers

in your home directory create a file called '.netrc', for example

/Users/ahoward/.netrc

in it put these contents

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	"""
	urlnorm.py - URL normalisation routines

	urlnorm normalises a URL by;
	* lowercasing the scheme and hostname
	* taking out default port if present (e.g., http://www.foo.com:80/)
	* collapsing the path (./, ../, etc)
	* removing the last character in the hostname if it is '.'


	How to setup Heroku Hostname SSL with GoDaddy SSL Certificate and Zerigo DNS
	Heroku recently added an exciting new 'Hostname SSL' option. This option offers the broad compatibility of IP-based SSL, but at 1/5 the price ($20 / month at the time of this writing).

	The following tutorial explains how to use Heroku's new 'Hostname SSL' option on your Heroku project. Before we begin, let's list what we're using here:

	* Heroku Hostname SSL
	* GoDaddy Standard SSL Certificate
	* Zerigo DNS

	DROP DATABASE template1;
	CREATE DATABASE template1 WITH owner=postgres template=template0 encoding='UTF8';
