Rebase flow

On base branch:

rake db:drop db:setup db:schema:dump # Ensure the database is consistent with base branch git rebase $base_branch

For each conflict

git checkout --ours db/schema.rb

git add db/schema.rb

Essential JavaScript Links

A curated list by Eric Elliott and friends. Suggest links in the gist comments.

Help us turn this into a proper website!

This is a very exclusive collection of only must-have JavaScript links. I'm only listing my favorite links. Nothing else makes the cut. Feel free to suggest links if you think they're good enough to make this list. The really curious should feel free to browse the comments to find other links. I can't guarantee the quality of links in the comments.

Full Disclosure

If you're writing web applications with Ruby there comes a time when you might need something a lot simpler, or even faster, than Ruby on Rails or the Sinatra micro-framework. Enter Rack.

Rack describes itself as follows:

Rack provides a minimal interface between webservers supporting Ruby and Ruby frameworks.

Before Rack came along Ruby web frameworks all implemented their own interfaces, which made it incredibly difficult to write web servers for them, or to share code between two different frameworks. Now almost all Ruby web frameworks implement Rack, including Rails and Sinatra, meaning that these applications can now behave in a similar fashion to one another.

At it's core Rack provides a great set of tools to allow you to build the most simple web application or interface you can. Rack applications can be written in a single line of code. But we're getting ahead of ourselves a bit.
