This next Tuesday October 20th, the Perl Seminar returns to New York City! This is a great effort by Jim Keenan, always trying to push the meetings and encouraging people on attending and sharing. There's usually one meeting per month and it's very well located, in midtown Manhattan, on a suite in the Ramada New Yorker hotel building facilitated by the NYPC User Group.

The first meeting will be about Git, GitHub and how you can use it on your Perl code and projects. It'll be very interesting for newcomers! More details on the original post, and make sure to subscribe to the discussion group.

Make sure you add the just launched git ready blog to your feed reader. Made by qrush. Audience applauds!

Following the Git tips being thrown on Planet Debian, here's a couple:

1. Changing into a directory that contains a repo and shows you on PS1 what branch you are standing on:

On .bashrc I have:

GITPS1='$(__git_ps1 ":%s ")'
export PS1="${GREEN}\w${RS} ${YELLOW}${GITPS1}${RS}\\$ "

2. An alias I like to use on repos that are personal for quick tracking:

[alias]
  ...
  log1 = log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit

I hope you like them.
