While trying to clone a repository from Github the other day on one of my EC2 servers and I ran into an SSL verification issue. As it turns out, Github renewed their SSL certificate (as people who are responsible about their web presence do when their certificate is about to expire). As a result, I couldn’t git clone over https. This presents a problem since all my deploys work using git clone over https.

Fixing CentOS Root Certificate Authority Issues
1 Jun 2011 — ericGit Command Aliases
28 Dec 2009 — ericThis is kind of a tip of the day, but I just think its cool so I am sharing it with everyone. And being a recent convert to Git and the fact that I have to use Subversion at my place of work, I find myself constantly doing things like this out of habit.
$ git st && git ci
Well now I can do that (although it may not be a good idea) with git alias:
elubow@beacon (master) supportskydivers$ git config --global alias.st status
elubow@beacon (master) supportskydivers$ git config --global alias.ci commit
elubow@beacon (master) supportskydivers$ git st && git ci
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
elubow@beacon (master) supportskydivers$ git config --global alias.ci commit
elubow@beacon (master) supportskydivers$ git st && git ci
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
Now st and ci are git aliases for status and commit respectively.
Git Branch Name in Your Bash Prompt
11 Dec 2009 — ericI work with a few repositories at any given time. And during that time, I typically have multiple branches created for each repository. I figured that it would make my life easier if I knew which branch and/or repository I was working in. Luckily, very little hackery is required here since the git distribution already comes with such a tool. (Note: If you didn’t build Git from source, then you may not have this file.)

Converting From Subversion To Git
16 Nov 2009 — ericNow that I have basically fallen for Git, I decided to finally move my Subversion repository over to Git (this way I can finally have a remote backup of it that I am comfortable with on Codaset).
The method for this was a lot more straightforward than I expected it to be. For the conversion tool, I used Nirvdrums fork of svn2git. It a feature complete version of the svn2git portion though the rest of it is still is development. Since it is a Ruby gem, getting it installed was a breeze. Just make sure that you have Ruby and rubygems installed.
