Commit Message Conventions

These rules are adopted from the AngularJS commit conventions.

Goals
Generating CHANGELOG.md
- Recognizing unimportant commits
- Provide more information when browsing the history
Format of the commit message
Subject line

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Raspberry Pi setup

Just wanted a quick start guide for myself so that I wouldn't have to keep rooting through Google to remember all this stuff. Hopefully it helps other people.

If you had other ideas or suggestions please leave a comment.

Useful things to own before you buy a Pi

The first time I bought a Pi I was enormously frustrated with myself because I didn't own all of this stuff. Kept having to order things off of Amazon and wait to get started... very irritating. This is all good stuff to have laying around anyway:

tmux cheat sheet

(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

Synopsis

At the top of the file there should be a short introduction and/ or overview that explains what the project is. This description should match descriptions added for package managers (Gemspec, package.json, etc.)

Code Example

Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.

	#!/bin/sh
	# Configure homebrew permissions to allow multiple users on MAC OSX.
	# Any user from the admin group will be able to manage the homebrew and cask installation on the machine.

	# allow admins to manage homebrew's local install directory
	chgrp -R admin /usr/local
	chmod -R g+w /usr/local

	# allow admins to homebrew's local cache of formulae and source files
	chgrp -R admin /Library/Caches/Homebrew

	#### Some hints ####
	# Currently kivy apps only work on monitor 1 (multiple monitor setup)
	# You have to place the terminal which runs kivy on the monitor 1 or make the app fullscreen.

	# Make sure you have the "command line tools" for mavericks installed!
	# (xcode-select --install)

	In the node.js intro tutorial (http://nodejs.org/), they show a basic tcp
	server, but for some reason omit a client connecting to it. I added an
	example at the bottom.

	Save the following server in example.js:
