This is a browsable archive of the old Future of Coding website, with Steve's research notes circa 2017-2019.

This repo contains various "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
}
