Note: This article doesn’t go into depth about commands, i.e. rm, rm -r, etc/ It’s about options. To read more about those commands, please visit Master the command line: Deleting files and folders, also included at the end of the article. I just finished watching Wes Bos' Command Line For Power Users series, and it was great. It focused on Z Shell, which is what I use, and I learned a lot. It opened new doors for me regarding Command Line for Mac, and I got to know my computer even better. But ... Continue Reading

Renaming Your Remote Github Repository
Today I was going through and re-organizing my JavaScript30 projects and adding Github Wiki pages to them. I came across one repository which I wanted to rename, because it did not mirror the name in the JavaScript30 repository! In addition, I wanted to rename the local repository to mirror the name of my remote repository. First I renamed the local repository. I was already in the repository which I wanted to rename, array-cardio. I wanted to rename it to array-cardio-day-1. In CLI (Command ... Continue Reading
Why you would want to do a -g npm install – really! [update]
Update 8.4.16: The comments on Medium got me curious, and I did come across npm documentation as how to avoid using sudo for -g installs. However, as a result, more questions have popped up which I have posted via npm issues. Am awaiting a reply and will write about my findings when they are rendered. I have been getting into debates with people as to why one would want or not want to install npm packages globally using the -g flag. Well, I have news for you. There are times when you do need to ... Continue Reading
Adding Gulp to Your Front End Workflow III [update]
I finished most of my workflow for my Simpleweather project. When I went in to create the list of plugins I was using here, I saw that at least one of the tools I was using was now deprecated. Gulp-Browserify. When I had found Stephan Imhoff's 16 part tutorial on setting up a Front End workflow with Gulp, he had been following the lead of a Front End Gulp tool called Gulp-Starter. I started setting up that workflow for another project, but then did not complete it, thinking it was too much for ... Continue Reading
Atom rocks
I have been using the Sublime text editor since I was introduced to it in Web Development 101. A lot of Front End Developers use Sublime. I ended up going with it. A while ago I had been introduced to Atom at a Girl Develop It workshop. Didn't end up doing anything with it. I wish I had. Tonight I was participating in a thread on the NewBie Coder Warehouse on Facebook, and someone mentioned that he used Atom, how it's great because it's free (which I already knew of course), how installing ...

Terminal Cheat Sheet
Lately I have been getting better acquainted with the Terminal Command Line program for Mac. There are so many different things to learn, but I have been dying to find a nice little cheat sheet to quickly work off of. I just found one a little while ago, and want to build upon it. To view it, please click here. As I accumulate more Command Line commands I find useful and potentially commonly used, I will add them here, and perhaps even contribute to the Github page in question, if possible. If ...
