勉強になった #1: MAMP, Komodo, Git, FileMerge

VirtualHost with MAMP

Spent a long time to setup a virtual host using MAMP, turned out just needed to add the nonstandard port when connecting. For example,

http://virtualhost.local:8888

Step by step tutorial here.

Showing Git’s branch in Mac’s Terminal

alt git branch terminal

Add the following to .profile file in your home directory

parse_git_branch() {
    git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/\ →\ \1/'
}
export PS1='\[\e[1;37m\][\[\e[1;35m\]\u\[\e[1;37m\]@\[\e[1;32m\]\h\[\e[1;37m\]:\[\e[1;36m\]\w\[\e[1;33m\]$(parse_git_branch)\[\e[1;37m\]]$ \[\e[0m\]'

Logout then login. Or reboot.

Komodo Edit is a Cool Editor

alt Komodo Edit

I’ve been using TextWrangler as my default editor for some time, but I’m not really satisfied somehow. After looking around, some suggestions came out, like TextMate, Coda, Komodo Edit, etc. Since I cannot afford TextMate nor Coda, I gave Komodo Edit a try. And I liked it. It’s pretty light, fast, cool name, and has Project management. And it’s FREE. Remember, it’s not the Komodo IDE. It’s the Komodo Edit.

Use FileMerge to graphically compare or merge file or directories

alt compare files using FileMerge

In Mac, if you have installed XCode, you can use FileMerge to graphically compare file/directories. FileMerge can be executed from command line using opendiff

opendiff file1.txt file2.txt
