I’ve been wanting to write a post about this for a while, and a friend of mine asked about it a couple of weeks ago, and here it is…

First you need to create a remote Git repository, either on your own server or Codaset, GitHub

You will need to create a local repository:

mkdir directory_to_sync
cd directory_to_sync
git init
touch .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit

To create a remote Git repository do the following on your server:

mkdir repository.git
cd repository.git
git init --bare

Once you have created the remote repository you will need to link it to your local copy:

git remote add origin ssh://server_address/path_to_repository
git push origin master
git pull origin master

To make life easier I always edit the Git config file and add the following:

vi .git/config
[push]
        default = current
[branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = master

The only problem with this approach is that you need to store the files in a seperate directory, but we ca get around this “limitation” by using symlinks for example to store the .bash* files in Git:

ln -s directory_to_sync/.bashrc ./

Well I hope this helps someone out there

So I’ve been trying to get TweetDeck running on my work PC for a while, and none of the howto’s I followed were able to help

Then this morning I stumbled apon this gem and lo and behold it worked (kinda) I just had to set the permisisons on the /opt/Adobe Air/ directory.

AWESOME!!!

Anyways, this is mainly so if I ever reinstall (which I tend to do anyways every couple of weeks lolz… selftorture++)
