Checkout github pull requests locally

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:

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs

Manage your PATH with a nice, one-directory-per-line file, rather than a gargantuan blob of colon-delimited text.
# Read the contents of ~/.path into $PATH, if ~/.path exists. ~/.path should be a file
# consisting of one path on each line, such as:
#
# ~$ cat ~/.path
# # vim: ft=sh
# ~/usr/bin
# /opt/local/bin
# ... etc ...
#
# Note that comments begin with a hash (#).
