Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Put a closure on it

Sometimes you'll have objects that manage state along with event handling. This happens frequently in MVC apps. Let's start with a messy example:

var Launcher = function(rocket) {
  this.rocket = rocket
}

Launcher.prototype.isReady = function() {

I'm doing some research on how companies use GitHub Enterprise (or public GitHub) internally. If you can help out by answering a few questions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

What is the primary setup? Is there an organization and each official repo is owned by that organization?
Does every engineer have a fork of each repo they're working on?
Are engineers allowed to push directly to the official repo? Or must all commits go through a pull request?
Do engineers work on feature branches on the main repo or on their own forks?
Do you require engineers to squash commits and rebase before merging?
Overall, what is the workflow for getting a new commit into the main repository?
What sort of hooks do you make use of?
Are there any ops issues you encountered? (Scaling, unforeseen downtime, etc.)

Project-specific lint rules with ESLint

A quick introduction

First there was JSLint, and there was much rejoicing. The odd little language called JavaScript finally had some static code analysis tooling to go with its many quirks and surprising edge cases. But people gradually became annoyed with having to lint their code according to the rules dictated by Douglas Crockford, instead of their own.

So JSLint got forked into JSHint, and there was much rejoicing. You could set it up to only complain about the things you didn't want to allow in your project, and shut up about the rest. JSHint has been the de-facto standard JavaScript linter for a long while, and continues to do so. Yet there will always be things your linter could check for you, but doesn't: your team has agreed on some convention that makes sense for them, but JSHint doesn't have an option

	// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
	// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
	// ----------------------------------------------------------
	// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 6) then:
	// ie === 0
	// If you're in IE (>=6) then you can determine which version:
	// ie === 7; // IE7
	// Thus, to detect IE:
	// if (ie) {}
