neanderslob, , Leave a comment

A couple notes on different log flags that I use for a couple applications

Only shows commits that are referred to by current state of branch
git log --graph --all --decorate --simplify-by-decoration

Shows all commits from all branches in a tree
git log --graph --all --decorate

A few notes on reading a branch.

If you are confronted with something like the following:

The way you read it is:

  • Branch_2 comes off of Branch_1.
  • Branch_3 and Branch_4 came off of branch 2 at the same point
    • Branch_4 is ahead of Branch_3
  • Branch_5 came off of Branch_2 as well but after 3&4 did

Notes: Adding themes to rails app

neanderslob, , Leave a comment

To add themes to a rails app

  • Drop respective css and javascript files into appropriate directory under vendor/assets/.
    Note: Files should have unique name (I name them after the theme so flatty-theme/css/style.css simply becomes flatty.css.
  • Add the following code to your config/application.rb under # add custom validators path in the Application class

    config.assets.paths << "#{Rails.root}/vendor/assets/*"
    config.assets.paths << "#{Rails.root}/vendor/assets/fonts"
    config.assets.paths << "#{Rails.root}/vendor/assets/stylesheets"
  • Adjust whatever views you’re using to use the appropriate classes in your theme

…And that’s it!

Was an absolute lifesaver when I was trying to add additional registration information to my sign-up page.

How I Learned Ruby on Rails

Judging by the number of different StackOverflow questions, there are a lot of people trying to do this, and a lot of confusion. Here is how I did it, and hopefully it helps you.

I have a User and a Verifier model.  What I want to do is create a new Verifier every time I create a new user, and pass in the user.id for the User into the verifier.user_id so that they are mapped together.

In order to do this I want to not really override but add additional functionality to the existing devise controller that handles when new users are created (and destroyed).  So I need to access the RegistrationsController#Create function in devise.

First thing is to create a new folder in the ‘app/controllers‘ folder where we can put my custom controller.  I called mine ‘app/controllers/my_devise‘.  Then create a new file in this folder…
