Common Issues

Solutions that are not usually available on stackoverflow.

Python

1. Import error:

The exsisting folder is not recognised as module for import.

Solution:

import sys                                          #for path to external scripts<br />
sys.path.insert(0, '/my/program/path')        #path to my scripts<br />
from mypackage.module import foo                  #importing scripts and giving a local name<br />

2. Tensorboard Visualisations

When we want to viusalize from a remote serverm follow these steps:

Start SSH with transfer the remote server’s port to your local PC. After that, start the tensorboard on the remote server with the specific port we want to transfer.

$ ssh -L 16007:127.0.0.1:16007 username@server_ip #local workstation
$ tensorboard --logdir='my-logs-folder' --port=16007 #remote server

Git

1. git push (ssh way):

Use

$ git remote add origin git@github.com:username/new_repo
$ git push -u origin master`

rather than

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/username/new_repo

The former is for use with ssh (ssh setup) and you won’t have to type your password every time you push things to github. If you use the latter construction, you’ll have to type your github password every time you push to github.

##2. Detached Head: Use

$ git checkout master
$ git checkout detached-branch-name
