Anthony's Blog

Started this in the beginning of the year...    On a Friday night, I spent my time working up til 6 in the morning on this. Probably the most difficult but simple process I've completed. Still proud that I completed it in a single night despite all the challenges. Some of which actually helped me create a solution more professional in my opinion. Meaning I didn't just create a work around. For example in my research I found other developers using scp (secure copy in linux) with sshpass  which isn't problem when deploying remotely. However I needed to do it locally. So for me using an ssh really seems waste for internal Processing. At the time creating this solution though I didn't care I need something fast. I should also note I'm not using docker to host my aspnetcore app but using the gitlab-runner in docker.  Update to now I've come a long way now to where creating task runners is a lot easier and I'm spinning them up specifically for each project ne...

If your looking to get CI/CD up and running with a SPA Application I recommend this setup. This article is based on Aspnet Core 2.1 and up. If you read the docker docs on the 2.1 version of dotnet core you will see they removed nodejs, which breaks a bunch of stuff if your using dotnet core with either Angular2 or Reactjs. I currently use gitlab-runners but with the volumes config to publish my sites. Notes from Dotnet Using NodeJS in  microsoft/aspnetcore-build , but this is missing from  dotnet/core/sdk:2.1 . What should I do? You can either install NodeJS by adding a few lines of code to your Dockerfile that download and extract NodeJS, or you can use the multi-stage feature of Docker and the official NodeJS images. Sample code to install NodeJS on your own: # set up node ENV NODE_VERSION 8.9.4 ENV NODE_DOWNLOAD_SHA 21fb4690e349f82d708ae766def01d7fec1b085ce1f5ab30d9bda8ee126ca8fc RUN curl -SL "https://nodejs.org/dist/v${NODE_VERSION}/node-v${NODE_VERSION}-lin...

If you haven't yet switch to using Access Tokens for your repo clone. Enable your  Two-Factor Authentication and create an access token under your profile. I've done this with my gitlab and keep forgetting the quick way to update the path/command. Go to https:/// YOURGITLAB.com/ profile/two_factor_auth Then go to  https:// / YOURGITLAB.com/ profile/personal_access_tokens  create a token with the api setting. Now switching your remote url for your git is simple. Using this command.. git remote set-url origin http://USER:TOKEN@YOURGITLAB.com/repo.git If you have multiple origin urls you might have to remove them and add back an origin upstream and reset the origin master as the default upstream. This doesn't normally happen but I had a unique case where I had multiple urls for the origin where I was pushing to multiple repos for the same code. This probably won't be your case but I figure I might add this bit in.

I'm always handling the code wherever I go so maybe its time I shared my notes. I'm really surprised but I should with my experience how many developers don't know git. msysgit - git: 'credential-cache' is not a git command How do I update the password for Git? How do you attach a new pull request to an existing issue on github Squash commits! I'm always forgetting this and its really simple to do if you remember both commands. git rebase -i xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx git push --force origin master "where xxxxxxxxxx is the SHA of the commit upto which I've to squash" .  Get username git config user.name Change Email git config user.email Caching Password on Windows. git config --global credential.helper wincred More coming soon...

    This was an idea that came to me when I was looking at  haacked's blog  (awesome blog by the way!)  which is mostly built with  jekyll  site since he uses github to host his site. I'm not really a fan of jekyll, I won't lie never played around with it . If github hosted a  web server  in nodeJs I probably would just move my blog in a  heartbeat over to github completely  but for now I like having it on blogger.      Now I haven't implemented this but here is a rough idea what I would do to achieve it. I think the image is pretty detailed but to sum it up I would IFTTT to notify my application when a new post is  available and then create a commit to github and allow people to fork the blog's repository and then create edits. I've even started the repo here ...  Research Blogger JSON API: Using the API - Blogger — Google Developers http://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/  - If I ever...

    I was working on this idea for Penguins Rising when Google App Engine was relatively new so this solution didn't come until later in my research. Either way it good to spread the word and get an understand with what I attempted. Solution Google Cloud Platform Blog: Using GitHub for Push-to-Deploy Problems I have yet to created a process that takes advantage of the continuous integration in penguins Rising since most of my code is built in javascript is would be nice to have a bridge between  phantomjs  and  Travis CI . Not sure how it would work since Google app engine would the notice for code pushes at the same time when I check in and Travis would have to tell G.A.E that the code cleared.

I want to be very clear I did not write this code but it was provided to me and I was given permission by a colleague of mine to submit it.. To respect his privacy I will not be able to provide his name but on his behalf I did submit the code to help improve the orchard project. To explain it a little bit what the purpose of this code edit, it is to filter out content that is editable but the user does not have the permissions to create them. Normal what Orchard would do is display all creatable content and if a user clicks on a particular content type that is restricted it simply replies to the user that they do not have access to it. However with a lot of CMS projects I have developed it is sometimes better to simply hide what the user can not or should not be able to do. Less questions come up and even less problems are seen from the user's perspective. This is what I consider to be a best practice to provide the user with a good experience.
