Delete Merged Branches with git
It's common courtesy to keep your git branch list clean, especially when colleagues need to fetch your remote branches. I'm a bit of a ... offender, when it comes to maintaining my git branch list. My colleague John Karahalis is not, however, and he hooked me up with an awesome git alias for deleting branches that have been merged into master. Place the following within your .git/config file:
[alias]
delete-merged-branches = "!f() { git checkout --quiet master && git branch --merged | grep --invert-match '\\*' | xargs -n 1 git branch --delete; git checkout --quiet @{-1}; }; f"
You can run this command via:
git delete-merged-branches
The script worked masterfully -- all branches merged into master were gone and I was left to evaluate which local branches were left to send pull requests for. Beautiful. Keep this around if you're a lazy git-ter like me!

This is the hardest thing I've ever had to write, much less admit to myself. I've written resignation letters from jobs I've loved, I've ended relationships, I've failed at a host of tasks, and let myself down in my life. All of those feelings were very...

One event that's always been lacking within the document is a signal for when the user is looking at a given tab, or another tab. When does the user switch off our site to look at something else? When do they come back?

![Record Text Selections Using MooTools or jQuery AJAX]()
One technique I'm seeing more and more these days (CNNSI.com, for example) is AJAX recording of selected text. It makes sense -- if you detect users selecting the terms over and over again, you can probably assume your visitors are searching that term on Google...
Nice tip – thanks
Thanks, very handy. Also found this https://gist.github.com/malclocke/943565 to do the same for all merged remote branches.
Also note that you can prune remote-tracking references (e.g., remotes/foo/patch-1) with either
fetch --prune fooorremote prune foo.
