Using Bash’s History Effectively

Ian Fieldhouse — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:59:50 +0000

Didn't know this:

A little-known trick (I've only seen one distro ship with this turned on by default) is that you can filter what gets stored in the command history. This is done merely by setting an environment variable, $HISTIGNORE.

ʬ: JavaScript Tools bundle for Textmate [del.icio.us]

fieldy1973 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:35:12 PST

The bundle does two main things:

It lets you run JavaScript Lint from within TextMate, making it much quicker and easier to check your scripts for any problems. It’s sort of (but not quite) like validating your markup or CSS.
It gives you quick access to a variety of formatting and compression tools, like Dean Edwards Packer, YUI! Compressor, and JSMin. If you don’t have a workflow setup that automatically compresses your scripts when they go into production this will really speed things up.
