This is an archive of the old Future of Coding community website. When the community was renamed to Feeling of Computing, the website was rebuilt from scratch.

This repo has been saved because it contains various research notes by Steve Krouse, such as these "virtual webpages" made from Github issues.

Developing notes

Remove large media files locally

First run:

git config core.sparsecheckout true

Then put the following into .git/info/sparse-checkout:

*.html
*.md
*.gitignore
*.txt
*.js
*.css
*.yml
*.json

And then run

git read-tree -mu HEAD

Add _data/git-log.json changes

This is how I generage futureofcoding.org/log.

First, pip install git2json as explained here.

Then create .git/hooks/post-commit with the following contents:

previousMessage=$(git log -1 --pretty=%B)

if [ "$previousMessage" != "updated git log" ]
then
    git2json > _data/git-log.json
    echo 'fileName' > _data/files.csv && find . -regextype posix-egrep -regex ".*\.(md|html)$"  -not -path "./_site/*" >> _data/files.csv

    # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16993082/why-doesnt-git-recognize-that-my-file-has-been-changed-therefore-git-add-not-w
    git rm --cached _data/files.csv
    git reset _data/files.csv

    git add _data/git-log.json
    git add _data/files.csv
    git commit -m "updated git log"
fi

exit 1

Quick access to journal

Add the following to ~/.bashrc:

function empty_message {
  sleep 0.1
  echo -e "## Title\n\n* TOC\n{: toc }\n\n" > .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
}

function journal {
  empty_message &
  git commit --allow-empty --cleanup=verbatim
}
