Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Async Submodule Update for Git

Readme

Gitsub

For now this simply runs in the parent module directory and syncs the parent module and then all of the submodules.

This util is meant to be run on the command line, to install use the following command:

npm install -g gitsub

Now you can navigate to a directory containing a parent repo and run the command gitsub.

This also accepts a flag for which branch you want each submodule to checkout to, e.g.:

gitsub --develop or gitsub --working-branch

####Note:

Currently running into an issue when too many submodules have changes, spooling up too many processes, you might see an error like: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/libexec/git-core/git-<tool>: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

Simply running gitsub again should resolve any submodules that were unhandled in the first pass. I didn't start seeing this until we had multiple changes in 70+ submodules; YMMV.
