Bring your fork up to date:

$ git rebase upstream/master

To complete assignments:

-rw-r--r-- 1 kila staff 531 Jun  6 12:47 ps01.txt
drwxr-xr-x 2 kila staff  68 Jun  6 11:23 scheme
drwxr-xr-x 2 kila staff  68 Jun  6 11:23 ruby
drwxr-xr-x 3 kila staff 102 Jun  6 11:23 ..

Problems are found in psNUM.txt

Once finished:

Sanity Check -- are you on the right branch? Are the modified files what you expect?

$ git status

Add all modified or new files in the current directory and below

$ git add .

Commit your changes with a commit message covering your changes

$ git commit -m 'Completed PS01#01'

Push to origin on branch master

$ git push origin master

For rails projects

$ cd rails_project_name

Trust the containing .rvmrc file You may have to install a new version of ruby:

$ rvm install 1.9.2-p180

Refresh current directory so rvm can do its thing

$ cd .

We may be using an already-specified gemset -- this is a sanity check

$ gem list

If not, and only rake is intalled, install bundler

$ gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc

Install gems specified in Gemfile

$ bundle install

How to run a rails project on your local machine

$ rails s

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 !

How to install mit-scheme on ubuntu 10.04

$ sudo apt-get update

$ ./configure
$ make compile-microcode
$ make install

Note: you may have to run

$ sudo make install

if you get permission denied errors

then clean up the mess:

$ cd ../..
$ rm -rf mit-scheme-VERSION

How to get mit-scheme to play nice with emacs

Open emacs and in the minibuffer:

M-x customize-group scheme

M-x load-file RET ~/.emacs RET
