How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.
Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

Creating a Happy Git Environment on OS X

Step 1: Install Git

brew install git bash-completion

Configure things:

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

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

	// installed Clojure packages:
	//
	// * BracketHighlighter
	// * lispindent
	// * SublimeREPL
	// * sublime-paredit

	# I'm always eager to hear new tips & suggestions as I'm still new to testing,
	# so if you have any, please share!

	# This skeleton also assumes you're using the following gems:

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# Simple move this file into your Rails `script` folder. Also make sure you `chmod +x puma.sh`.
	# Please modify the CONSTANT variables to fit your configurations.

	# The script will start with config set by $PUMA_CONFIG_FILE by default

	PUMA_CONFIG_FILE=config/puma.rb

	# First of all you need to have a clean clone of the source repository so we didn't screw the things up.

	git clone git://server.com/my-repo1.git

	# After that you need to do some preparations on the source repository, nuking all the entries except the folder you need to move. Use the following command

	git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter your_dir -- -- all

	# This will nuke all the other entries and their history, creating a clean git repository that contains only data and history from the directory you need. If you need to move several folders, you have to collect them in a single directory using the git mv command.
