Install Specific Formula Version with Homebrew

6 Jan 2012 – San Francisco, CA

Life is less than ideal most of the time and software isn’t the exception. Homebrew is awesome, it makes my life so much easier when installing and updating all my development tools. But if there something that Hombrew lacks completely is the support to install previous versions of the kegs (packages), so here they are, the instructions to achieve precisely that:

First, update Homebrew so that /usr/local is converted to a git repository:

brew update

Then find the specific formula revision that you need with git:

git log -S '0.9.9' Library/Formula/sphinx.rb

Checkout the formula for that specific revision and install it:

git checkout 527fdcc808cb5ccb936c5af2e76bea2bf4895158 Library/Formula/sphinx.rb
brew install sphinx

Update Your Vim (Pathogen) Bundles with Ease

Update Your Vim (Pathogen) Bundles with Ease

29 Dec 2011 – San Francisco, CA

If you’re using Git to manage your pathogen bundle’s in Vim, I have created a script to rule (update) them all:

#/usr/bin/env sh

dir=`pwd`
for f in `find $dir -d 1 -type d -not -name '.*'`
do
  echo "Updating $f"
  cd $f
  git co master && git fetch && git pull origin master
  cd $dir
done

Place it under your /bundle directory and run it:

sh update-bundles.sh

Open SSH Links on iTerm2

26 Dec 2011 – San Francisco, CA

I’m a big fan of iTerm2 and very often I see myself launching SSH sessions from the browser. The configuration is very simple:

First, open iTerm2 Preferences (Cmd+,) then click on Profiles and create a new profile (+), and change the highlighted fields as shown in the following image:

For the last step (#3), this is a tricky one, click on the URL Schemes select box and click on ssh (and then, click again on the select box and verify that it ssh is checked):

Enjoy!

Auto-Generate Gemset with RVM (.rvmrc)

Auto-Generate Gemset with RVM (.rvmrc)

26 Dec 2011 – San Francisco, CA

Sometimes, when you clone one of your projects with a .rvmrc file in it, you enter into the directory and then you need to type the following (at least for the first time):

rvm gemset create your_project_name

But you can avoid that completely, by appending --create at the end of your RVM command (inside your .rvmrc file) like this:

rvm use 1.9.3@your_project_name --create
