    You might find `git add -N` ("--intent-to-add") useful. It's an extra step, yes, but it allows you to e.g. view the content of new files with `git diff` without actually staging th…

    Sorry, should be HISTIGNORE=ssh* (the pattern has to match the entire line.) Like many shell variables, this one is a colon-separated list.

    HISTIGNORE=ssh It won't strip existing lines, but will prevent them from being recorded in the future.

    IIRC (I read the git mailing list) there was a lot of arguing about whether generation numbers should be in the commit headers or stored in separate cache, and then a different fix…

    Does anyone know how to adjust the line height? In 1.x I could do defaults write com.macromates.TextMate OakLineHeightDelta n but 2.x doesn't respect that (or com.macromates.Avian …

    git-log and friends indent the commit message by four spaces on the left, so wrapping at ~72 chars gives it symmetry on 80 column terminals. By wrapping it yourself, you decide whe…

    It's hard to understate the importance of this. GitHub's online editor has a default commit message along the lines of "Edited path/to/file", and I see a lot of pull requests with …

    Actually if you follow the thread(s) relating to this, a less invasive change to speed up "git tag --contains" was adopted (see git.git@ffc4b8012), so "soon" probably isn't the rig…

    Just for kicks, here's a (terribly ugly) pipeline that will display the contents of .nls and `ls`, with duplicates removed: ls | cat .nls - | column -t -s: | sort -r | perl -ane 'p…

    So the author has reached this conclusion after _several hours_ of using Lion?

    Comment #2802407

    Yes, in most cases, but most packages have minimal dependencies due to Homebrew's "use what OS X provides" philosophy, i.e., the XCode toolchain (Homebrew doesn't even have a packa…

    FWIW, Homebrew only needs gcc 4.0 for a select few formula. The vast majority of them build with more modern compilers (gcc 4.2, llvm-gcc, and clang are supported; and I use a non-…

    Agreed--there is way too much of this. A member of my family has Asperger's, is on medication and regularly sees a psychiatrist. It's insulting to him and everyone who has a clinic…

    It's also possible that Xcode 4 is only on the App Store because Lion is going to be on the App Store, and people who buy a physical copy of Lion will get Xcode 4 on the disc.
