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!

Useful emoji for git commit messages

If you add emoji to your commit messages for a GitHub repo, they become less boring, and you can convey the kind of change you're adding. See the full set of GitHub supported emoji here (also useful for easy copy&paste via a simple click).

The following is a possible scheme to use:

First Method

Deleting the .git folder may cause problems in our git repository. If we want to delete all of our commits history, but keep the code in its current state, try this:

# Check out to a temporary branch:
git checkout --orphan TEMP_BRANCH

# Add all the files:
git add -A

	# Well, it's worth diving straight into what lambdas are.
	# Lambdas are pretty much anonymous "one line" functions

	# initialize combos during the first pass through

	combos = []

	if len(list) == n:
	# when list has been dwindeled down to size n
	# check to see if the combo has already been found
	# if not, add it to our list
	if combos.count(list) == 0:
