Pull Request Etiquette

Why do we use a Pull Request workflow?

PRs are a great way of sharing information, and can help us be aware of the changes that are occuring in our codebase. They are also an excellent way of getting peer review on the work that we do, without the cost of working in direct pairs.

Ultimately though, the primary reason we use PRs is to encourage quality in the commits that are made to our code repositories

Done well, the commits (and their attached messages) contained within tell a story to people examining the code at a later date. If we are not careful to ensure the quality of these commits, we silently lose this ability.

NERDTree

o.......Open files, directories and bookmarks....................|NERDTree-o|
go......Open selected file, but leave cursor in the NERDTree.....|NERDTree-go|
t.......Open selected node/bookmark in a new tab.................|NERDTree-t|
T.......Same as 't' but keep the focus on the current tab........|NERDTree-T|
i.......Open selected file in a split window.....................|NERDTree-i|
gi......Same as i, but leave the cursor on the NERDTree..........|NERDTree-gi|
s.......Open selected file in a new vsplit.......................|NERDTree-s|
gs......Same as s, but leave the cursor on the NERDTree..........|NERDTree-gs|

O.......Recursively open the selected directory..................|NERDTree-O|

Web fonts are pretty much all the rage. Using a CDN for font libraries, like TypeKit or Google Fonts, will be a great solution for many projects. For others, this is not an option. Especially when you are creating a custom icon library for your project.

Rails and the asset pipeline are great tools, but Rails has yet to get caught up in the custom web font craze.

As with all things Rails, there is more then one way to skin this cat. There is the recommended way, and then there are the other ways.

The recommended way

Here I will show how to update your Rails project so that you can use the asset pipeline appropriately and resource your files using the common Rails convention.

	# '(', '{', '[' are called "openers."
	# ')', '}', ']' are called "closers."
	# Write an efficient function that tells us whether or not an input string's openers and closers are properly nested.

	# Examples:

	# "{ [ ] ( ) }" should return True
	# "{ [ ( ] ) }" should return False
	# "{ [ }" should return False

	# You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding
	# of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.
	# http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls
	# http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart
	# http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration
	#
	# Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean
	# file but keep this around for reference. Or just disable in sites-enabled.
