Methods of Signing Git Commits on MacOS

Last updated March 13, 2024

This Gist explains how to sign commits using gpg in a step-by-step fashion. Previously, krypt.co was heavily mentioned, but I've only recently learned they were acquired by Akamai and no longer update their previous free products. Those mentions have been removed.

Additionally, 1Password now supports signing Git commits with SSH keys and makes it pretty easy-plus you can easily configure Git Tower to use it for both signing and ssh.

For using a GUI-based GIT tool such as Tower or Github Desktop, follow the steps here for signing your commits with GPG.

require-from-twitter

How to use

const leftPad = await requireFromTwitter('712799807073419264');

JavaScript function hoisting by example

Below are many examples of function hoisting behavior in JavaScript. Ones marked as works successfuly print 'hi!' without errors.

To play around with these examples (recommended) clone them with git and execute them with e.g. node a.js

Notes on hoisting

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

tmux shortcuts & cheatsheet

start new:

tmux

start new with session name:

tmux new -s myname

	#!/bin/sh
	# option 2: paste this into user-data to automate install via boot script
	# NOTE: update --label=owner=YOURNAME below if you want to easily identify yours

	# renames the host to have a suffix of alexellisio
	export original=$(cat /etc/hostname)
	sudo hostname $original-master-alexellisio
	echo $original-master-alexellisio \| sudo tee /etc/hostname
