Reverting to a previous version of a file using git
View list of versions for a file:
git log main.m
This will display a list of commits for that file:

Techmeme – When Less is More
The more articles Techmeme consolidates, the less room there is for stories, or so it seems.
Hiding the ‘More’, ‘Tweets’ and ‘See Also Mediagazer’ information, and allowing it to be optionally expanded, story by story, or for all stories, will allow more stories to be shown on the one page.
Seeing this:
Seems so much better than this:
A story is displayed in three states, each of which viewed in turn by clicking on the “More: X Tweets: Y” text.
First state – no more and/or tweet information is displayed.
Second state – a summary of the more and/or tweet information is displayed, which is the default Techmeme state.
Third state – full details of the more and/or tweet information is displayed.
You can also set the story state for all stories on the page, by using the ‘buttons’ on the header and footer bars.
Where:
◇ – Hides all more and/or tweet information for all stories.
◈ – Shows more and/or tweet summary information for all stories.
◆ – Shows all more and/or tweet information, in full, for all stories.
(The images make more sense on Windows, as they are slightly different in appearance than the above which was taken off a Mac)
The Techmeme-Less browser extension is available for:
What Apple really thinks of Windows!
Ever wondered what Apple really thinks of Windows machines?
All is revealed within the image used to denote Windows boxes when browsing the network using Finder on OS X.
Yep. A Blue Screen Of Death. A very old one, but nonetheless, a box which has crashed!
Shame, Apple, shame!
Adding an Upstream Repository to Git
Adding a remote upstream repository is done using:
git remote add upstream GIT-URL
For example:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/moment/moment-timezone.git
Git Sync Upstream – Windows Batch File
Simple batch files to synchronize a local git repository with its forked (upstream) repository.
See https://github.com/MartynDavis/utilities:
Windows:Windows/git-sync.bat
Unix: Shell/git-sync.sh

Recursive grep
Use -r (recursive) and include/exclude to target files to grep
grep --include=\*.js --exclude=\*.min.js -r . -e pattern
Browser Extensions
Being able to change web pages has intrigued me.
So I wrote a simple browser extension to hide/unhide the More/Tweets information within Techmeme pages.
Available for:
git unadd
As per http://pivotallabs.com/git-unadd/, you can ‘unget’ a file.
git config --global alias.unadd "reset HEAD"
You can then do the following:
git unget file
Very useful, any so much easier to remember than:
git reset HEAD file
