My Atom setup

January 18, 2016 / gaui / 0 Comments

I recently started using Atom, this awesome web-based editor from GitHub. My previous editor was Sublime Text but I decided to make the move. Why? Because Sublime has a slow development.

Version 2 of Sublime Text was initially released in 2011 and last release was in July 2013. Still it’s the main version! Version 3 last release was in March 2015 — and it’s still in beta and hasn’t gotten an update for 10 months. Don’t get me wrong, Sublime is awesome, but it’s not under active development. Atom is very active and has been from the start, Sublime is not. Atom is also open-source, Sublime is not.

However, this is about my Atom setup, not a rant about why Atom is better than Sublime.

It was introduced in Git 2.5 and is very handy when working on multiple branches simultaneously, without disrupting your work on the other branch. It got me very confused at first but it’s quite simple.

Interactive rebase in Git

September 5, 2015 / gaui / 2 Comments

Rebasing in Git is basically replaying commits on top of each other. But with interactive rebase you are in control of how they should be replayed and what should be done with them. You can re-arrange them, skip them, reword them, edit their changes and squash them together. This is a very powerful tool.

Isolating your BLL from your DAL and unit testing it

August 30, 2014 / gaui / 0 Comments

This article will teach you how to set up a basic service and repository, to isolate your BLL (Business Logic Layer) from your DAL (Data Access Layer), so you can easily create unit tests for your BLL.
