    My git-svn workflow

    I recently gave a lightning talk on git-svn at Barcamp Manila, and I thought some people might be interested in my day-to-day workflow when I work on projects.

  • For those interested in my hacks on top of other hacks to fspanel (i.e. my hacks on top of fsp-h), see here. Source code available via git here, git URL: git://github.com/jmibanez/fsp-h-jmi.git.

  • I've been hacking on a small panel for my current desktop environment— I've switched to using a really minimal no-frills environment consisting of openbox-3 and a small dock/notification area, since I was getting antsy about the GNOME 2 panel.

  • If you’ve ever seen me work, you probably know that I am quite comfortable with the command line. In fact, I prefer opening a terminal or writing a shell script rather than booting up a file manager; I can do a lot more on the command line, without taking my hands off the keyboard.

  • Recently, we’ve been assigned to assist another company in a development/maintenance role. They had an existing web application, written in Java and used by a large number of users— the web application was up and running and they needed to modify the application to interface with an external system, but they did not have the people who knew Java well enough onboard and the previous developers were no longer available to help them in this. That’s where we came in: we provided the needed skills to add the feature in.

  • I am quite interested in a wide swath of technologies, some esoteric, some popular. Particularly, I follow the news on various libraries and tools. I like to keep my toolbox full.

  • Someone on the PLUG mailing list said to an email I sent out:
