Git

Signed up for github and started using git bash, the commands are a little clunky but then I am used to svn with tortoise as a front end which makes it so easy.

Couple of things that help with setup, paste is insert, change directory cd and ls to list all files within the working directory.

Talking of commands, I have been harassed about not resetting IIS properly, proper way apparently is using an admin prompt and issreset /start /stop as needed, without the args iisreset will reset IIS.

Had a minor issue with go daddy DNS this week, meaning some of the dev team could not access any of usual servers for staging, demo or production. To work around this just add the IP address to your machines host file.

To get the server address for those with access you can use prompt and ping which will show you the address in the first line.

If the rest of the team are not awake yet, getip worked for me.

A short cut I always forget, alt + printScreen to take a screenshot of the current window.
