Creating BigTiff COGS for raster RGB photos from a tile mosaic directory using GDAL

Creating a Cloud Optimised Geotiffs (COGs) for raster photo imagery

This process outlines the process for creating Cloud Optimised Geotiffs suitable for hosting in services such as AWS S3. COGs enables more efficient workflows use cases such as fast access from Functions as a Services (E.g AWS Lambda), or comsumption into client desktop GIS systems (e.g QGIS). For more details on COGs please see https://www.cogeo.org/in-depth.html

why Dynamicland Realtalk isn't open source

Transcribed from an interview with Toby Schachman and Paula Te on The Afrofuturist Podcast:

There's this notion of the open-source movement. There are a lot of things
that we totally resonate with that because it's about understanding how your
technology works. We're totally 100% on board with that.

But then there are other issues with the open-source community, where it's
very internet-based and so open-source ends up benefitting this group of
people who have really strong access to internet and understand how to use

HowTo have specific .gitignore for each git branch

How to have specific .gitignore for each git branch

Objective

My objective is to have some production files ignored on specific branches. Git doesn't allow to do it.

Solution

My solution is to make a general .gitignore file and add .gitignore.branch_name files for the branches I want to add specific file exclusion. I'll use post-checkout hook to copy those .gitignore.branch_name in place of .git/info/exclude each time I go to the branch with git checkout branch_name.
