A script to make creating a new branch from the most up to date version of upstream/master easier
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo usage: newbranch newbranchname oldbranchtoclonefrom
exit

git remote -v | grep upstream > /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo You must have a remote named upstream

lxe's javascript style guide.

Can be applied to C as well.

Focus on the first 3 headings.

1. Consistency

Keep things consistent. Don't vary your indent, spacing, braces, etc... across lines, files and project.

2. Readability

Make sure your code is easy on the eyes. If you're supposedly showing someone what your code does, line by line, make sure they aren't struggling to follow it.

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:
