Boston Rubyists,
The signup for the upcoming project night is at
We are planning on having a couple of workshops:
Bob Gilmore will be doing a talk on Git hooks
- what a pre-commit hook is, and how they can write one in Ruby.
- How to catch git conflict markers, debugger calls, probable private-key commits, and other localized problems.
-
To set up debugging keyboard macros with TextExpander (or other macro editor of choice) and then have githooks look for THEM in your code.
- How to use more complicated logic in the pre-commit hook. In particular, I'll show them how to make a hook that requires that if one kind of file has been created, another particular file has been touched.
- Some gotchas when using pre-commit hooks from within a Mac OS app, as opposed to from the command line.
- Finally, to KEEP THEIR git/hooks files under git control, and how to create symbolic links to them in their project directories.

Chris Lee is doing "An introduction to metaprogramming"
Both these workshops should be really interesting. Thanks Bob and Chris for sharing.
