Oszukiwanie jest fajne

W codziennej pracy często zdarza się sytuacja kiedy potrzebujemy informacji odnośnie jakiegoś narzędzia, biblioteki itp. Wtedy ruszamy często do Googla. Lecz można również… oszukiwać (cheat – oszustwo) instalując taki oto przydatny wynalazek ułatwiający nam życie:

$ gem install cheat

i od razu możemy z niego korzystać, powiedzmy że potrzebuję informacji jak używać git’a:

$ cheat git

I dostaniemy taki oto cheatsheet:

git:
  Setup
  -----

  git clone <repo>
    clone the repository specified by <repo>; this is similar to "checkout" in
    some other version control systems such as Subversion and CVS

  Add colors to your ~/.gitconfig file:

    [color]
      ui = auto
    [color "branch"]
      current = yellow reverse
      local = yellow
      remote = green
    [color "diff"]
      meta = yellow bold
      frag = magenta bold
      old = red bold
      new = green bold
    [color "status"]
      added = yellow
      changed = green
      untracked = cyan

  Highlight whitespace in diffs

    [color]
      ui = true
    [color "diff"]
      whitespace = red reverse
    [core]
      whitespace=fix,-indent-with-non-tab,trailing-space,cr-at-eol

  Add aliases to your ~/.gitconfig file:

    [alias]
      st = status
      ci = commit
      br = branch
      co = checkout
      df = diff
      lg = log -p


  Configuration
  -------------

  git config -e [--global]
    edit the .git/config [or ~/.gitconfig] file in your $EDITOR

  git config --global user.name 'John Doe'
  git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
    sets your name and email for commit messages

  ...

Albo informacji odnośnie np. rspec’a:

$ cheat rspec

I dostaniemy taki oto cheatsheet:

rspec:

  something\"" #run a single spec




  module UserSpecHelper
    def valid_user_attributes
      { :email => "joe@bloggs.com",
        :username => "joebloggs",
        :password => "abcdefg"}
    end
  end


  describe "A User (in general)" do
    include UserSpecHelper

    before(:each) do
      @user = User.new
    end

    it "should be invalid without a username" do
      pending "some other thing we depend on"
      @user.attributes = valid_user_attributes.except(:username)
      @user.should_not be_valid
      @user.should have(1).error_on(:username)
      @user.errors.on(:username).should == "is required"
      @user.username = "someusername"
      @user.should be_valid

Prawda że fajnie jest oszukiwać ! 😉
