[alias].gitconfig

quick search of commit messages (and showing hash) with certain word

search = !sh -c 'git log --grep=$1 --pretty=format:\"%h%C(bold yellow) %s%C(reset)\"' -
$ git search wax // e.g. list out all commits that contain "wax" in message

export last X commits showing just commit message and files touched

whatup = !sh -c 'git whatchanged --pretty=format:%n%s --name-only -$1 > /w/logs/git.log' -

Bloody hell is Ruby on Rails development on Windows an exercise in chasing through search engines.

database configuration does not specify adapter

"database configuration does not specify adapter" error with PG gem in Rails 3.2

Check for any anomalous whitespace in the .yml file
That there is a .yml file for your database setup in the first place
That it points to the correct database configuration environment. At least development.
