Combine multiple input files when using Pandoc

If multiple input files are given, pandoc will concatenate them all (with blank lines between them) before parsing. -- from Pandoc website

Pandoc command: pandoc -s input1.md input2.md input3.md -o output.html

Moved

Now located at https://github.com/JeffPaine/beautiful_idiomatic_python.

Why it was moved

Github gists don't support Pull Requests or any notifications, which made it impossible for me to maintain this (surprisingly popular) gist with fixes, respond to comments and so on. In the interest of maintaining the quality of this resource for others, I've moved it to a proper repo. Cheers!

Fork your own Gist

Fork your own Gist

This is a bookmarklet that adds a fully functional Fork button to your own Gist.

If a Fork button is already present in the page, this bookmarklet will set focus to it instead of adding another one.

The change is temporary and the button will disappear as soon as you navigate away from that Gist (clicking the Fork button does this for you as well).

Git Submodules basic explanation

Git Submodules - Basic Explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

  • Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.

Adds a fully functional "Fork" button to your own Gist.

Fork your own Gist

This is a script that adds a fully functional Fork button to your own Gist.

If a Fork button is already present in the page, this bookmarklet will set focus to it instead of adding another one.

The change is temporary and the button will disappear as soon as you navigate away from that Gist (clicking the Fork button does this for you as well). Meaning you will have to run the script every new page load.

Firefox

Copy the contents from bookmarklet.js, open Scracthpad (Ctrl+F4), paste it there. Back in browser, swwitch to tab with your Gist you want to fork. Back in Scratchpad, "Run" it. Save and/or bookmark the Scratchpad file for future use.

Moving git repository and all its branches, tags to a new remote repository keeping commits history
#!/bin/bash
# Sometimes you need to move your existing git repository
# to a new remote repository (/new remote origin).
# Here are a simple and quick steps that does exactly this.
#
# Let's assume we call "old repo" the repository you wish
# to move, and "new repo" the one you wish to move to.
#
### Step 1. Make sure you have a local copy of all "old repo"
### branches and tags.
