    WordPress and .gitignore

    Updates have been added after the jump!

    In the coming weeks I’ll likely put a lot of my own personal code (as in, not code people pay me to write) in public repos on Github. A lot of my work is WordPress related so I’ll make a local repo at the root of some WordPress install as to not complicate things. In order to make sure I don’t put up something unintentionally (like say, my wp-config.php file), I’ve created a more thorough .gitignore than what I have seen from automatic generators. If you’re interested, I put it into a Github Gist, so you can just copy and paste it. If you think I’m missing something or am wrongfully excluding something, leave a comment on the gist!

    GitGutter for Sublime Makes Diffs Easy

    At Crowd Favorite we use git for everything, which is a nice change from my old workflow of hoping for the best. I’ve learned quite a bit about git and Github since starting and have looked for tools to help me do things better. A really simple, but super helpful, tool is the GitGutter package for Sublime (thanks Dave!)

    It’s very straight forward: when you add, change, or delete a line, it will put small icons in the gutter of your file, with the line numbers, to make it easier for your to spot where you made modifications. It doesn’t seem like much, but I definitely miss it when I’m using a different editor or machine. Check it out!
