How to move a folder from one repo to another and keep its commit history
# source: http://st-on-it.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-move-folders-between-git.html
# 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.

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a

Keeping IPython notebooks under Git version control

This gist lets you keep IPython notebooks in git repositories. It tells git to ignore prompt numbers and program outputs when checking that a file has changed.

To use the script, follow the instructions given in the script's docstring.

For further details, read this blogpost.

The procedure outlined here is inspired by this answer on Stack Overflow.

Zero-knowledge databases

Zero knowledge databases

The idea

The idea is to provide a database as a service to end users in such a way that no one except the user herself can access the data, not even the hosting provider or the database administrator.

Advantages

  • A privacy- and/or security-conscious user will have more trust in such a setup.
  • The service provider cannot be coerced to release the data they were trusted with, and he cannot be held responsible for the content he is storing.
