// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}

Git rebase workflow
# first, fetch the latest refs for all branches. And be sure we have latest master, etc
git checkout master
git fetch
# If any changes from remote, catch our local version up
git rebase origin/master

Why I love Tabletop.js but don't use it in production

Tabletop.js is a fantastic, open-source JavaScript library that lets developers easily integrate data from Google Spreadsheets into their online projects. I've used it, even contributed a minor feature, and love it for prototyping. Non-programmers love being able to update a project via Google Spreadsheets' hyper-intuitive interface.

That said, I'm extraordinarily wary of using Tabletop in production. Instead, at the Wall Street Journal, we use a bit of middleware to "prune" our Google Spreadsheets-based data and then cache it on our own servers. A few brief reasons:

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:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/
git clone git://github.com/wbond/sublime_package_control.git Package\ Control
cd Package\ Control
git checkout python3
# restart Sublime Text 3 and you should have Package Control working

git pr - Global .gitconfig aliases for Pull Request Managment

Install

Either copy the aliases from the .gitconfig or run the commands in add-pr-alias.sh

Usage

Easily checkout local copies of pull requests from remotes:

  • git pr 4 - creates local branch pr/4 from the github upstream(if it exists) or origin remote and checks it out
  • git pr 4 someremote - creates local branch pr/4 from someremote remote and checks it out
