If you want to send code patches to your coworkers you don’t need to do strange things with different tools. Git has all the neccesary tools for handling this in a pretty way.

The idea is generate a patch from git and send to your coworker via email. After received the message they can import those messages directly into git.

Let’s see how all this works. Read the rest of this entry »

O pasado xoves 28 de abril foi un día maravilloso para toda a comunidade GNOME de Galicia. Xa que celebramos a Festa de Lanzamento de GNOME 3. O evento foi organizado maxistralmente pola asociación Ghandalf en colaboración coas asociaciónsGpul e Trasno, e co apoio económico da Xunta de Galiza.

As nosas espectatívas de asistencia vironse sobrepasadas. Fomos perto de 50 persoas desfrutando da festa, todos moi ilusionados xa que tanto desenvolvedores que alí estaban presentes, moitos deles da empresa Igalia, como tradutores do GNOME ao galego traballamos moi duramente nos últimos meses para poder ter un GNOME 3 resplandecente.

Unha mistura dun evento totalmente planificado coa expontaneidade xeral dunha festa, o trascurso da mesma foi ameno e moi bó. Todo estaba no seu lugar namentres os poñentes e os asistentes dialogaban segundo avanzaba. Foi unha alegría ver de novo xa grandes amigos meus do Software Libre, e non me cansei de darlles as grazas pola súa asistencia xa que coido que para todos era un momento especial logo do inmenso traballo que levou chegar a onde chegamos.

And here is another post about our daily job with git, this time talking about how to setting up a remote git repository with digest authentication and support for pushing changes using http protocol.

There is a lot of options to setup a git repository: git-daemon, gitosis, ssh, and more.

• The more secure way is to use ssh protocol but it needs to create user accounts for each user you want to allow to pull and push changes from the remote repository.
• For the other hand git-daemon is the faster way that allows to publish a public repository but if you needs to restrict access for some users (allow/disallow push/pull or view one entire repository) this won’t be your best choice.

Now I will write all the steps to setup a remote git repository that uses http protocol.

If you want to sort an array of objects but using one of its object properties you can do it with usort, but this could take a lot of time and will be very computational expensive.
So I have implemented one method you can insert into one of your PHP classes. This method implements the quicksort algorithm.

As a result I have experienced a huge performance improvement against usort: one array of objects with 10.000 elements sorted with usort takes ~3.4 sg, and with quicksort algorithm takes, in my samples, ~0.56 sg. Awesome isn’t it?
