Using sketchtool to diff your .sketch files using text

Requirements

You need to have SketchTool installed somewhere in your path.

Setup

Add this in your ~/.gitconfig file (for some reason, it won't work in a local .gitconfig file):

Alamofire JSON Serialization of Objects and Collections

Alamofire is a great Swift library developed by the creator of AFNetworking @mattt. The purpose of this gist is to explain how to use the built-in power of Alamofire to serialize your JSON. In this example we will be serializing a simple blog API. First we will start with serializing a single JSON object and add complexity as we go along.

Warning: This was written before Swift 1.2

A Single JSON Serialization

This is the first JSON object that we will be serializing.

Force pull request's diff to reset itself against target branch

git checkout feature-branch
# empty commit; don't worry, this will not show up in the final pull
git commit --allow-empty -m "Empty commit"
git push origin feature-branch
# hard reset to before empty commit
git reset --hard HEAD~
git push -f origin feature-branch

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Designing in s/Photoshop/Code

Would you be interested in a workshop at Heroku to learn more about one or all of these things:

Using Framer.js to breathe life into your static comps
Building prototypes with fake/real data in HTML/CSS, and a minimum of Javascript (Angular.JS)
Prototyping native iOS and OS X apps in code
Running prototypes/static apps on Heroku to share them with your team

All of these workshops would be for designers with rudimentary web design skills. Aka these things are meaningful to you:
