Just bought this app. Great idea!
Committed is a great way to be notified when someone pushes new code to the GitHub repositories you care about. Committed notifies you using OS X’s new Notification Center feature when someone pushes code.
The new myspace teaser. Beautiful interaction design.
Way back in mid-2007, when Rails 1.2 was the new hotness and GitHub was still a year away from crawling out of the primordial internet soup, prolific open source contributor Dr Nic wrote an article titled “8 steps for fixing other people’s code”. It offers excellent general advice, but the…
To many, a Time Capsule backup, a SuperDuper backup at home and work plus a cloud backup will sound excessive. Fair enough. But it sucks to have gone through this experience and it really sucks to have lost our valuable family memories. So if you’re not nearly as crazy as I am (lucky you), let me at least urge you to have at minimum one backup at home and another up in the cloud. If you have sufficient bandwidth, $3–5 a month is a small price to pay for this kind of peace-of-mind. If you live in an area with slow service or worry about leaving your computer running for days on end churning away sending a massive amount of data to the cloud, $124.99 might seem steep, but I hope you never have to know just how good of a deal that price seems in hindsight.

If you have more than one Mac running OS X Lion and you’re signed in to the same iCloud account on all of them, you can SSH between them via iCloud’s IPv6 network.
First, find your Back To My Mac account number by running
dns-sd -EThen SSH to another machine like so
ssh -2 -6 username@computer-name.[account number].members.btmm.icloud.comThat’s hard to remember and a hassle to type, so might want to add something like the following to your
~/.ssh/config:Host mac-remote User username HostName computername.123456789.members.btmm.icloud.com AddressFamily inet6 Protocol 2Which means you can just type
ssh mac-remoteto log in to your other Mac when you’re out and about.
Very handy.
Ninja.
Let’s say you’re on the Github page for
rails/rails. Copying the URL from the top of the page, pasting it into the terminal takes too dang long! Instead, put this in your~/.gitconfig:# ~/.gitconfig [url "git://github.com/"] # Read-only insteadOf = gh:In the terminal:
