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).

IE 7/8/9/10/11 Virtual machines from Microsoft

We have moved: https://github.com/magnetikonline/linuxmicrosoftievirtualmachines

Due to the popularity of this Gist, and the work in keeping it updated via a Gist, all future updates will take place at the above location. Thanks!

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

	/**
	* Split a string into chunks of the given size
	* @param {String} string is the String to split
	* @param {Number} size is the size you of the cuts
	* @return {Array} an Array with the strings
	*/
	function splitString (string, size) {
	var re = new RegExp('.{1,' + size + '}', 'g');
	return string.match(re);
	}

	script.onerror = function() {
