Publishing System Documentation

First up, if you would like to add to this documentation, GitHub uses Markdown and here's a great 3 minute GitHub guide on mastering markdown. The best practice way to add to this documenatation is to fork and create a pull request. The easiest way to start using GitHub is to use GitHub Desktop.

We are looking to use the containerization technology Docker and maybe Vagrant. This project is primarily using Ruby so have a quick read of the results from the 2016 Rails Survey.

Git

This project is using Git and GitHub. The easiest way to get started with GitHub is to use GitHub Desktop. Below shows how to get help on the git command:

PS C:\Users\beast> git --help
usage: git [--version] [--help] [-C <path>] [-c name=value]
           [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]
           [-p | --paginate | --no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare]
           [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]
           <command> [<args>]

These are common Git commands used in various situations:

start a working area (see also: git help tutorial)
   clone      Clone a repository into a new directory
   init       Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one

work on the current change (see also: git help everyday)
   add        Add file contents to the index
   mv         Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
   reset      Reset current HEAD to the specified state
   rm         Remove files from the working tree and from the index

examine the history and state (see also: git help revisions)
   bisect     Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug
   grep       Print lines matching a pattern
   log        Show commit logs
   show       Show various types of objects
   status     Show the working tree status

grow, mark and tweak your common history
   branch     List, create, or delete branches
   checkout   Switch branches or restore working tree files
   commit     Record changes to the repository
   diff       Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
   merge      Join two or more development histories together
   rebase     Reapply commits on top of another base tip
   tag        Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG

collaborate (see also: git help workflows)
   fetch      Download objects and refs from another repository
   pull       Fetch from and integrate with another repository or a local branch
   push       Update remote refs along with associated objects

'git help -a' and 'git help -g' list available subcommands and some
concept guides. See 'git help <command>' or 'git help <concept>'
to read about a specific subcommand or concept.

Here is a quick read on merge commits and how to prevent them.

Ruby

Using Ruby (a programmer's best friend) we can harness the power of RubyGems.

If you're on Windows and you want to try Ruby quickly try the Ruby Installer and you will need to install the Ruby DevKit if you want to use native gems.

Make sure to download the RubyInstaller from JFrog Bintray here and make sure to get the highest Ruby version which is currently version 2.3.1. You can also find the Ruby DevKit on JFrog Bintary.

Before using the both the RubyInstaller and the Ruby DevKit you should check the integrity of them with the CertUtil command and compare your command line console ouput with what is displayed on the JFrog website. The CertUtil command is shown below:

CertUtil -hashfile pathToFileToCheck [HashAlgorithm]

HashAlgorithm choices: MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512

An example of checking the RubyInstaller checksum with the CertUtil command is show below as well as running irb to remove the single spaces between each set of two characters:

PS C:\Users\beast\Downloads> CertUtil -hashfile .\rubyinstaller-2.3.1-x64.exe SHA256
SHA256 hash of file .\rubyinstaller-2.3.1-x64.exe:
a8 83 e2 4b 9a 2b 38 31 70 e1 7c 37 2c ec 32 bd eb 28 04 eb c1 ca 59 97 d6 8d 97 cd dd ae 88 3c
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.
PS C:\Users\beast\Downloads> irb
irb(main):001:0> "a8 83 e2 4b 9a 2b 38 31 70 e1 7c 37 2c ec 32 bd eb 28 04 eb c1 ca 59 97 d6 8d 97 cd dd ae 88 3c".split
.join
=> "a883e24b9a2b383170e17c372cec32bdeb2804ebc1ca5997d68d97cdddae883c"
irb(main):002:0>

The first Ruby Tool

hashcheck.rb is a Ruby based command line program that checks file checksums and runs as shown below:

PS C:\Users\john\Downloads> ruby .\hashcheck.rb .\rubyinstaller-2.3.1-x64.exe SHA256
a883e24b9a2b383170e17c372cec32bdeb2804ebc1ca5997d68d97cdddae883c
PS C:\Users\john\Downloads>

hashcheck.rb is shown below:

#ARGV[0] is the file you want to check. ARGV[1] is the hash algorithm
#Secure_Hash_Algorithm choices: MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512
shellcommand = `CertUtil -hashfile "#{ARGV[0]}" "#{ARGV[1]}"`
puts shellcommand.inspect.split('\n')[1].split.join

More infomation on the CertUtil command is shown below:

C:\Users\beast\Downloads>

There has been a recent update to RubyGems and you might not be able to install any remote gems without first downloading and installing the RubyGems update manually as seen below:

PS C:\Users\beast\Downloads\rubygems-2.6.8> ruby setup.rb
RubyGems 2.6.8 installed
Parsing documentation for rubygems-2.6.8
Installing ri documentation for rubygems-2.6.8
...

You can also use the unsupported Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier to check some types of file checksums. Make sure you keep the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier in your Windows "Downloads" folder, so you can use it check all your downloads that have checksums.

The RubyInstaller is a Windows executable program with a GUI so it is easy to install. To install the Ruby DevKit you need to 'cd' to where you extracted the Ruby DevKit and run the commnads shown below:

PS C:\> cd Devkit
PS C:\Devkit> ruby dk.rb init
[INFO] found RubyInstaller v2.3.1 at C:/Ruby23-x64

Initialization complete! Please review and modify the auto-generated
'config.yml' file to ensure it contains the root directories to all
of the installed Rubies you want enhanced by the DevKit.

PS C:\Devkit> ruby dk.rb install
[INFO] Installing 'C:/Ruby23-x64/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb'
[INFO] Installing 'C:/Ruby23-x64/lib/ruby/site_ruby/devkit.rb'
PS C:\Devkit>

The commands above are explained in more detail on the GitHub Ruby DevKit page. When I installed Ruby last it was installed in: 'C:\Ruby23-x64' and that was for Ruby 2.3.1. After you have installed Ruby you can check it's installed by running the next command:

PS C:\> ruby -v
ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x64-mingw32]
PS C:\>

You can find about more about the installled Ruby by typing the next command:

PS C:\> ruby -h

  -0[octal]       specify record separator (\0, if no argument)
  -a              autosplit mode with -n or -p (splits $_ into $F)
  -c              check syntax only
  -Cdirectory     cd to directory before executing your script
  -d              set debugging flags (set $DEBUG to true)
  -e 'command'    one line of script. Several -e's allowed. Omit [programfile]
  -Eex[:in]       specify the default external and internal character encodings
  -Fpattern       split() pattern for autosplit (-a)
  -i[extension]   edit ARGV files in place (make backup if extension supplied)

    gem help gem_dependencies    gem dependencies file guide
    gem help platforms           gem platforms guide
    gem help <COMMAND>           show help on COMMAND
                                   (e.g. 'gem help install')
    gem server                   present a web page at
                                 http://localhost:8808/

C:\>

You should check the JRuby bin folder as JRuby provides a JRuby version of most of all the standard Ruby commands and I installed JRuby at C:\jruby-9.1.5.0\bin. You can use the jgem command to output a gem list and the gem list for a fresh JRuby install is shown below:

PS C:\> jgem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

did_you_mean (default: 1.0.1)
jar-dependencies (default: 0.3.5)
jruby-openssl (0.9.17 java)
jruby-win32ole (0.8.5)
json (1.8.3 java)
minitest (default: 5.4.1)
net-telnet (default: 0.1.1)
power_assert (default: 0.2.3)
psych (2.0.17 java)
racc (1.4.14 java)
rake (default: 10.4.2)
rdoc (default: 4.2.0)
test-unit (default: 3.1.1)
PS C:\>

JRuby also ships with jirb as seen below:

PS C:\> jirb
irb(main):001:0> 1+2
=> 3
irb(main):002:0> first ="john"
=> "john"
irb(main):003:0> last="Bampton"
=> "Bampton"
irb(main):004:0> "#{first} #{last}"
=> "john Bampton"
irb(main):005:0> (1..5) === 3
=> true
irb(main):006:0> exit
PS C:\>

Jekyll

I use the command

PS C:\work\github\jbampton.github.io> bundle exec jekyll serve

OS X

Homebrew

Homebrew is an amazing package management system for OS X that installs the stuff you need that Apple didn't. Homebrew Formula are written in Ruby. You install Homebrew via the command line as shown in my short Homebrew install video. If you install Homebrew you should try to run brew update daily. I made another video on Homebrew that shows the typical brew update command.
