Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

One Day Of Go

One day of Go

One of my ongoing resolutions is to learn a new programming language every year. I've been looking at Go for a while and I thought it would be fun to use the 'holiday' today to really get cranking. I recorded some random impressions as I was chugging along...

When learning a language, I'm one of those people that can't simply read documentation and contrived code examples with any usable level of recall -- I need to internalize it by writing code to solve a legitimate problem. So, I decided to write a little library, a parser for the Linux /proc filesystem. There aren't very many good ones that I've found for Go (and I am thinking of some projects I may want to use it for in the future).

Steps taken:

  1. Read a bit of code
