    Setup radiant projects easily with radiant-go

    Recently I began work on a project called radiant-go. Radiant-go is a rubygem that allows you to setup radiant projects easily. It saves a huge amount of time when setting up applications and it’s very easy to configure.

    Here’s some quick instructions on how to go about using it:

    First we install our radiant-go gem. It depends on radiant and bundler so it will install those too if they aren’t installed yet.

    gem install radiant-go

    Now we can generate our configuration files and modify them to our needs. This step is only necessary if you want to modify the initial configuration of your application.

    radiant-go -c project

    Now we can run our generator. If you have followed the step above, you need to run the generator on the same folder.

    That’s all, we’re done. Your Radiant install is ready to use.

    Some fun with git

    Found a neat trick today while trying to figure out something in git:

    I had a folder in my project which i wanted to be ignored and not tracked by git, the folder was called ‘site’, so my gitignore file had the following line:

    site/*

    Although today i realised there was a subfolder called ‘javascript’ which i wanted to track, but still ignore the rest of ‘site’. Instead of manually setting ignore for each of the folders and files within site i googled around a bit and came up with this:

    site/*
    !site/javascripts

    This ignores all of the files and subfolders in ‘site’ except for javascripts.

    I love git :) Also I wasn’t sure if the author of this post was kidding, or serious ? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/767147/how-do-i-tell-git-to-ignore-gitignore
