There are times when you need to log off your Linux Desktop, and you want a process to run in the background. TMUX manages this very well.
For this example, let's suppose you're running a long running task like running rspecs on your project and
it is 5pm, and you need to go home.

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.
In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.
Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j

| xhr.open( "GET", "http://fiddle.jshell.net/img/logo.png", true ); | |
| // Ask for the result as an ArrayBuffer. | |
| xhr.responseType = "arraybuffer"; |
