How to generate an OAuth signature for the Netflix API using Ruby
## This gist is intended to provide a code example for the
# 'Making Signed Requests' section of the 'Authentication Overview' document.
# (http://developer.netflix.com/docs/Security).
#
# We are going to make a catalog request. The hardest part of
# it is figuring out how to generate the oauth_signature.

fix git commit with wrong email address in git config, before pushing
If:
- you add and commit with the wrong email address in git, and
- your remote has a hook set up to prevent you from pushing with the bad address
Then you need to amend the author of your commit before push can succeed:
1. fix your email address in git config:
$ git config user.name "Your Name"

Because of GitHub search limitations, only 1000 first users according to amount of followers are included. If you are not in the list you don't have enough followers. See raw data and source code. Algorithm in pseudocode:

Set the iTerm tab title to the current directory, not full path.
# put this in your .bash_profile
if [ $ITERM_SESSION_ID ]; then
export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033];${PWD##*/}\007"; ':"$PROMPT_COMMAND";
fi
# Piece-by-Piece Explanation:
# the if condition makes sure we only screw with $PROMPT_COMMAND if we're in an iTerm environment
# iTerm happens to give each session a unique $ITERM_SESSION_ID we can use, $ITERM_PROFILE is an option too
# the $PROMPT_COMMAND environment variable is executed every time a command is run
# see: ss64.com/bash/syntax-prompt.html

Default anonymous export = module instance object

Kevin's "default anonymous export" idea.

Let anon be the symbol denoting anonymous export.

Assume the following syntaxes:

export default [Expression]; // sets the anonymous export
export [Declaration] // sets a named export
