GitHub Javascript Strategy

Unless otherwise necessary (such as mobile development), the GitHub javascript codebase is based off jQuery. You can safely assume it will be included on every page.

File naming

All jquery plugins should be prefixed with jquery, such as jquery.facebox
All github-specific jquery plugins should be prefixed with jquery.github. Like jquery.github.repo_list.js
All page-specific files (that only run on ONE page) should be prefixed with page. page.billing.js

A replacement for "livereload" gem on OS X

This script is a replacement for livereload server component designed for working with Rails. It watches the filesystem with FS Events (Mac OS X) rather than with EventMachine. This is better for large projects for wich EventMachine fails with "too many open files" exception.

Sass is supported; .sass files can also be stored in "app/styles/" directory.

Command line options are "-D" to enable debug mode. All other parameters (if given) specify a list of directories to watch. This is not compatible with livereload gem, which supports many more options and customization. If you want customization, edit this script. It's simple.

Visit the official livereload project for instructions on how to install the browser component.
