syropian / loopless_sequence
Last active December 20, 2015 02:29
A neat way of creating a sequence in JavaScript, sans loop.
var alphabet = Array.apply(0, Array(26)).map(function(x,y) {
return String.fromCharCode(y + 65);
}).join('');
console.log(alphabet);
//Outputs 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

Last active December 18, 2015 14:49
Add this to your bash profile if you want to easily create a remote branch and then checkout a local branch that tracks it.
function git-cb() {
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
echo 1>&2 Usage: git-cb branch_name
else
git push origin origin:refs/heads/$1
git fetch origin
git checkout --track -b $1 origin/$1
git pull
fi
}
