[Node 101] Part 0

[Brian LeRoux <b...@brian.io>]

I've had some time to revisit our codebase and been doing some refactoring.
Its fun. Cordova is an somewhat mature project (or maturing) and with age
comes a few wrinkles.

I'd like for not only our code to get better but all of committership.
Programming is a lifelong learning exercise, and we should share knowledge
and help each other grow.

For my part, I'm going to do a series of posts to the list sharing some
techniques for writing better JavaScript (and Node).

Please chime in! I would love to see [C# 101], [Java 101], [Obj C 101], and
[Bash 101] posts.

These topics are a compilation based on talking to some other peopleŠ

1. How to identify the git url(s) for a ³repo² when all you have is a url
to some http file viewer:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/blob/33b8b7f599b43a27d627a4f5679e512
1f760e213/docs/en/edge/cordova/inappbrowser/window.open.md
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-docs.git;a=blob_plain;f=d
ocs/en/edge/guide/support/index.md;hb=HEAD
[gerrit]
[reviewboard?]

(Please feel free to provide instructions for other git viewersŠ)

2. Accessing labels (tags, branches) - getting a list, selecting them,

3. How to get a good graphical tree

I¹ve settled on this:
git log --oneline --abbrev-commit --all --graph --decorate
‹ but there¹s probably better onesŠ

4. How to use pull requests (please cover at least github and gerrit)

5. When to use Push, Fetch, Pull, git-format-patch

When/how it is safe/necessary/expected to add a `-f` (e.g. For push to
update a pull request)

6. How to use git-format-patch (both to create and to consume without
dataloss)

7. Splitting commits :)

8. What Graphical GUIs are there/should people use

9. Diffing, how to practically compare two divergent nodesŠ
(I don¹t have a good approach to this, I¹ve sort of settled on:
 A. diff the leaves to see how terribly divergent they are
 B. export the individual commits and diffing them
)

10. Merging / interpreting diff -cc

I'd be willing to write a Git 101, if there were interest there. We're all
familiar with the basics now, but some of the more extended features
(bisecting, stashes and rebases come to mind) might be of interest.
