• Teller: Universal secret manager, never leave your terminal to use secrets
  5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 17 Jan 2024

  $ pass git remote add origin https://github.com/foo/bar.git

• Can someone explain me esily how to use an existing Github repo locally?
  1 project | /r/linux4noobs | 6 Mar 2023

  git clone https://github.com/foo/bar /some/directory. Even better, set up ssh keypair and clone via ssh, so you don't need to type your username and password each time you push. The correct address will be on GitHub, under green Clone button, just change it from https to ssh.

• The technology behind GitHub’s new code search
  17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Feb 2023

  Yes, just change the URL from https://github.com/foo/bar to https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/foo/bar to be dropped in to a code search for that GH repo.

• Information of or automatic updates from github repos?
  2 projects | /r/homelab | 13 Nov 2022

  nchecker. Also, https://github.com/foo/bar/releases.atom

• Show HN: Personal productivity workspace for busy people
  3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Aug 2022

  This seems very good.

  1. This looks like Notion, which is good. Notion succeeded by being pretty.

  2. It feels...I don't know the way to say it, but the appropriately level of solid (I don't accidentally drag and drop stuff), fast, and just easy to use. No non-modal mix of commands and typing makes entering information frustrating. It feels like typing into Notepad. It's frustration-free.

  3. I would like if the dashboard showed unscheduled tasks (as a collapsible section at the very bottom, below Completed.)

  4. I have TODOs of the form "Deploy XYZ" and ideally they would be "Deploy XYZ - https://github.com/foo/bar/pull/1337" -- but this adds a lot of clutter to the task list. If there were a way to add details or attach notes to tasks, that would be helpful. (It would also add clutter, so be careful. Just a "Details" link next to "Schedule" and the tags might work. Make it open a note on the right, perhaps?)

  5. The "Schedule" link below each item makes me think I haven't scheduled the item, but I have. It should say "Today" (when I'm looking at today on the dashboard).

  6. The importing of calendars scared me as it populated a giant list, including my coworkers calendars that I've subscribed to (but have set to not display), but turned out fine. Only the ones I have set to display in Google Calendar display in Emery by default. The import UX maaaaybe could be better / less aggressive, but it works.

  7. The dichotomy between "schedule this for today" and "add this to a specific time on my calendar" still exists, and frustrates me, but the ability to sort the tasks helps.

  8. It's good that this is opinionated. Stay focused and reject most feature requests, including mine.

  9. You got me to enter my credit card before I even got to play around with it. That's impressive, but you are definitely cutting your top-of-funnel with that requirement. (Maybe it pays off by increasing conversion at the free trial->paid step, or maybe you only want true believers at the beginning, but the payment form would usually have turned me away.)

  10. Can I export my data? In seven days, am I going to have to manually copy-and-paste all my notes and outstanding TODOs back into my old system if I decide this isn't for me? This risk also makes me hesitant to go all-in during the trial period. (An export wouldn't fully solve this, since I'd then have a messy JSON file or something to deal with, but I'd feel a little better about it.)

• Best way to work on a composer package (library) while it's being used inside of a project?
  1 project | /r/PHPhelp | 27 Jun 2022

  Thank you, I tested this and it looks very promising. It does in fact change the composer.json accordingly, so I can use this command instead of hand-editing the json file. This means that I have commit to my git repo a `path` repository pointing to my dev package, but in my Dockerfile for production build I can run composer config repositories.foo vcs https://github.com/foo/bar to change "foo" on the fly to something else (e.g. git)

• Commenting code: yes or no?
  1 project | /r/learnprogramming | 24 Jun 2022

  // We have to discard the first read of this sensor because of a know bug // in its firmware. Remove the redundant read after this issue has been resolved: // https://github.com/foo/bar/issues/10 temperatureSensor.read(); let temp = temperatureSensor.read();

• Code online always starts with $?
  1 project | /r/bash | 23 Apr 2022

  $ git clone https://github.com/foo/bar.git

• Improving GitHub Code Search
  17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Dec 2021

  The best thing about the Sourcegraph instance hosted on sourcegraph.com is that you can edit the URL in your browser from https://github.com/foo/bar to https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/foo/bar to be dropped down into a Sourcegraph search for that GH repo. I've been using it for a long time because of this convenience.

  (Though it would be even better if the two options for case-sensitivity and regex search were enabled by default instead of needing me to toggle them on every time.)

• Git as a Storage
  8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Oct 2021

  > I think you can get the wiki with plain old 'git' ? I forget ...

  This is correct. The wiki for a repo is accessible as a separate repository named with a suffix of “.wiki”.

  So if user foo has a repo bar with an associated wiki, and the repo URL is https://github.com/foo/bar then you can clone the repo and the wiki respectively over SSH by:

      git clone [email protected]:foo/bar.git
