Workflows for long-running feature branches

Workflows for long-running feature branches

These examples were created during a discussion with j416 on #github about how best to manage long-running feature branches.

The scenario is this: You have a long-running feature branch, based off master. The feature branch and master both touch the same parts of the same files, so you know that there will be conflicts when you finally merge the feature branch in. What can you do to minimise the conflicts?

Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.
//
// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.

Bluebird .each vs .mapSeries vs .map
var Promise = require('bluebird');
var funcs = Promise.resolve([500, 100, 400, 200].map((n) => makeWait(n)));
funcs
.each(iterator) // logs: 500, 100, 400, 200
.then(console.log) // logs: [ [Function], [Function], [Function], [Function] ]
funcs
.mapSeries(iterator) // logs: 500, 100, 400, 200

This snippet of code is syntactically valid in both PHP and Java, and produces the same output in both.
/*<?php

PowerShell, Cmder / ConEmu, Posh-Git, Oh-My-Posh, Powerline Customization

Pimping Up Your PowerShell & Cmder with Posh-Git, Oh-My-Posh, & Powerline Fonts

Backstory (TLDR)

I work as a full-stack developer at work. We are a Windows & Azure shop, so we are using Windows as our development platform, hence this customization.

For my console needs, I am using Cmder which is based on ConEmu with PowerShell as my shell of choice.

Yes, yes, I know nowadays you can use the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 which allow you to run Ubuntu on Windows. If you are looking for customization of the Ubuntu bash shell, check out this article by Scott Hanselman.

Created August 23, 2017 02:21
Postman pre-request script to create a Firebase authentication JWT header.
/**
* This script expects the global variables 'refresh_token' and 'firebase_api_key' to be set. 'firebase_api_key' can be found
* in the Firebase console under project settings then 'Web API Key'.
* 'refresh_token' as to be gathered from watching the network requests to https://securetoken.googleapis.com/v1/token from
* your Firebase app, look for the formdata values
*
* If all the data is found it makes a request to get a new token and sets a 'auth_jwt' environment variable and updates the
* global 'refresh_token'.
*
* Requests that need authentication should have a header with a key of 'Authentication' and value of '{{auth_jwt}}'
