The Bug Genie

By

I think this is my first extended experience with bug tracking. The Bug Genie, written in php. For some reason, twice, my admin password has been reset, changed or somehow deleted.

Then: Make a new branch with the local files: git checkout -b staging Get the remote files: git checkout master Really destructively replace all files in master with … Continued

Grabbing files with wget

By

Larry Weiner is this great musicologist in the International Folk Dance and specifically Bulgarian music movement. He is sharing all these rare really awesome (“lost”) tracks, but the website is set up to share them one at a time. But using the Terminal in OSX (it’s in utilities) I was able to employ wget to … Continued

Beginning to Install OpenFoodNetwork Package

By

Loving https://github.com/openfoodfoundation/openfoodnetwork. Looking at the deployment package. Start with our vars.yml package. It says the checkout_zone is as defined by Spree. This spree?
