I’ve talked quite a bit lately about learning to automate things on the Mac using the fabulous tool Keyboard Maestro. Keyboard Maestro is essentially like a little programming language with a graphical user interface, but it’s missing an essential part of any document creation tool – there’s no way to save versions of what you […]

Mermaid Diagrams Won’t Replace Diagrams.net for Me, But it Sure is Fun
Mermaid Diagram We’ll be Making Mermaid Diagrams Won’t Replace Diagrams.net as my diagramming tool of choice, but they’re still pretty cool. I’ve been having a lot of fun lately with a tool called Mermaid for making diagrams. I’ve hesitated about whether to tell you about Mermaid diagrams for two reasons. One reason for my hesitance […]

CCATP #699 – Bart Busschots on PBS 125 of X – Chezmoi on Multiple Computers
In this final episode of Programming By Stealth before we launch into the back end of web development with PHP, Bart finishes his miniseries on Chezmoi to manage dot files. In this installment he teaches us how to effectively manage our dot files on multiple computers using templating to ensure that the correct settings end […]

In this week’s episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots continues his instruction on how to use the open source tool Chezmoi to manage our dot files, those hidden configuration files on our Macs. In this installment, Bart teaches us how nearly effortless it is to sync our Chezmoi-managed dot files up to a private […]

In our previous installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart introduced us to Chezmoi, an open source tool to help us manage dot files, those hidden configuration files that get created on our Macs. Configuration files contain information about how we like our Macs configured, including where to access our ssh keys and our preferred command […]

As we’ve become nerdier while learning from Bart, we have started to add hidden configuration files to our Macs and PCs. On the Mac, these configuration files hidden by default by putting a dot in front of them, and hence they are called dot files. Maybe you’ve stored your ssh keys, or in our Git […]

A few weeks ago I told Bart off the air that when he was done with his mini-series within a series all about the version control system Git, I’d like a few minutes with him offline so he could explain how to ignore files in Git. I knew there was a way to do it […]

We continue on our journey to learn how to use Git to do version control as a single person, but this time with multiple devices. As Bart says during this episode, “Who is learning to program here who doesn’t have multiple computers?” We’ve learned how to push our changes to a single separate repo, but […]

In this installment of Programming By Stealth Bart teaches us how to deal with conflicts in branches of our code. He has been purposely only changing one thing at a time before now, but it’s time to face the reality of when two branches change the same line in the same file. I’ve been terrified […]
