Quick GIT notes.. from a developer perspective

A few months ago i started using GIT, here I'll post quick notes I've learned since then (from a developer perspective, not as an admin).. and I'll update this thing!

User details:

git config --global user.name "Daniel Morales"
git config --global user.email daniel@isp.com

Clone a repository:

git clone ssh://USERNAME@git.server.com/PATH/TO/MODULE

Create a new branch (locally):

git branch "new_branch_name"

Checkout a branch:

git checkout "branch_name"

Update changes from server:

git pull

Commit changes:

git commit

Add files:

git add /path/tho/file.c 

View local changes:

git diff

View log:

git log

Reset (revert) changes of a single file:

git reset HEAD /path/to/file.c

Push (upload) changes to server:

git push

Push a new branch (created locally) to server:

git push origin "branch_name"

Run a git command, in 'testing' mode (it doesn't affect anything):

Add --dry-run as an option of any git command you use.

Download a branch from server:

Update:

git remote fetch origin

Setup a local branch to track the remote branch:

git branch --track [local-name] origin/remote-name

Switch to local-name:

git checkout [local-name]

Parisian Love.. by Google

Google, on a new Youtube channel share with us short stories based on what people searches.
Isn't a very special thing, but a very creative one!

The next is a short video that also was showed last night as a SuperBowl AD, enjoy it:

Zend Studio 7 and the mouse click problem on Ubuntu

Due to some strange reason ZendStudio (and Eclipse i think) have a bug when running under Ubuntu 9.10, with the mouse click!! #EpicFail

Here my solution:

1. Create a new file: Zend.sh

    #!/bin/sh
    export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
    /path/toZend/Install/ZendStudio

2. Add exec permission: chmod u+x Zend.sh

3. Run Zend using the new file :)

Well, you can also create a launcher from that *.sh, with a nice icon and blah blah... but that's the fix to this epic bug.

Happy PHP coding =)

Paquetes recomendados en Debian.. o amigos

Hace poco (Hoy) me puse a reinstalar el sistema de mi notebook, no por problemas sinó por un tema de prolijidad del mismo :P

Al comenzar me encuentro que hay aún muuuchisimos paquetes que se instalan por defecto (Recomendados y sugeridos) que no los iba a usar jamás! Algo así como un Abuso!

Para evitar esto hay que editar (o crear en su defecto) el archivo:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70recommends

Y agregar las siguientes lineas:

APT::Install-Recommends "0";
APT::Install-Suggests "0";

Listo :)

Nota: Si usan aptitude o synaptic creo que hay opciones para hacerlo por ahi... pero no es muy de hombrecito.. sobretodo quienes usan aptitude :')
