GiT Guide & Basic Commands for Git Beginners

August 4, 2013 by Mohsin Rasool

I love to learn new concepts of programming and GiT has really inspiring stuff, so I learnt Git few months ago, and then i forgot. And today I wanted to do a little GiT stuff and I was unable to get it going… So I refreshed my memory of GiT commands and did my test repo at GitHub. For future reference I am going to list that git hacked list  below 🙂

GiT Setup: ========

git config –global user.name “Your Name Here”
git config –global user.email “your_email@example.com”

Make local dir and move to that
=========(not git command)
mkdir ~/Hello-World
#Creates a directory for your project called “Hello-World” in your user directory

cd ~/Hello-World
#go to that folder

Make repo
============
#create file from ccommand line with TOUCH
touch README.md

#initiate git first time in local dir for git to work
git init

#add files for committing
git add README.md

#commit message
git commit -m “first commit”

#add remote origin for repo
git remote add origin https://github.com/Ravian/dd.git

#push changes to remote master
git push -u origin master

Workflow
=======
given you are in the local repo dir
you have added remote origin repo
then workflow is like:

git status
git add filename
git commit -m “commit message”
git push -u origin master

Thank You WordPress

January 4, 2013 by Mohsin Rasool

I use WordPress daily in my own business as well as most of the time our clients also choose WordPress and ask us to build their website based on WordPress.

I cannot thank enough to WordPress and whole WordPress team to make this great product open source and free.

I learn something new daily about this great project of its own kind on the internet.

Just today I installed Android App by WordPress and really loving it, this makes posting to my blog so easy.

Also today I was sharing with my team that MEDIA section in WordPress 3.5 is so lovely. Oh also those new Publish and Update buttons also so cool in WP 3.5.

Thank you WordPress, thank you very much. Wishing you all best year 2013.

Regards,
Mohsin

Top Ubuntu Free Softwares We Use Everyday in Our Internet Business

October 22, 2010 by Mohsin Rasool

Here is a quick list of little software, goodies and apps I use daily and love them:

1. Tasque – A Task Manager – Compatible to Remember the Milk Service. Light Weight, and very easy to add new tasks using Keyboard.. No need to ever use a Mouse to click.

2. GColor2 – Desktop Color Picker – Lightweight utility to get HTML and RGB color from anywhere on your screen. Great from Web Designers to get color ideas.

3. Take ScreenShot – Ubuntu Built-in Utility to take screenshot of whole window, or selected area. I use it almost every day to take shots and send to clients to make my point. You can find it in under Applications > Accessories > Take Screenshot

4. Artha – An Offline English Dictionary & Thesaurus – Wow I love this little friend, it has what every conventional dictionary tool misses i.e. If you enter wrong spelling, just like Google, it will give you options saying: Did You Mean…and give you options to choose from.

5. Blobby Volly Game – A cute little game to kill time when you need to. I really love this little fascinating game. Best when played by two players.

6. CheckGMail – A little app like Gmail Notifier, keeps you updated about your Gmail emails, good for quick overview of what is coming in there. Just search in “Application Software Center” in Ubunut for CheckGMAIL and click Install. Set it to be loaded on Start-up to run every moment to monitor your inbox.

7. VLC Media Player– My all time favorite one and only one Media player for all media needs. If you stick to this player for a week. You are going to love it for life.

Other applications include FireFox the great, Skype, Chrome, Open Office, GIMP and FileZilla.

Best Regards,

Mohsin

Market Samurai – Great Customer Support

October 17, 2010 by Mohsin Rasool

Hi,

I remember listening Bob, Founder of Godaddy, say this, “Anyone can sell domains or hosting, it is the customer support where you can WIN the hearts and make them your repeat business. Make them free source of viral word-of-mouth advertising for your biz.”

Just this week a company won my heart and did what was way beyond you can expect from a software company of their caliber.

Their product is also great you all know: Market Samurai!
Now It is not about the product but about their business customer support.

I have been using their software on trail, and trail was expiring soon. I wanted to buy the full version but…. Sorry only Paypal accepted …(and no paypal in my country!!!)

It was really a big problem i wanted to solve, as i really wanted to keep the software for my business, and second i do not wanted to buy this later on high price..

I contacted them for alternative payment options, they said sorry for now we are working on other options.. but here we extend your trail to the date until that payment option is available! WOW they did it without even me asking them!

Now i am using their software for free until they have other means of payment to accept.

Not a big thing, companies do this! right?

But here is BIG thing, i got greedy and sent them another email saying THANK YOU! and told them my concern that when that payment option will be available i will not be able to take advantage of their discounter promotion (reduced price) ….

They said no problem.. we lock the current discounted price for your email.. so onward whenever you will us , you pay the current low price!!! is not it sweet?
They made my day!
(Even just my younger brother has screwed one of my website auction by reducing the reserve to $1, without him knowing what he was doing 🙁 but Email from Market Samurai
guys made me happy even i was angry with my brother’s negligence…

So Friends I wanted to share this with you that following Bob’s, Godaddy’s Founder, advice, remember customer support is very very important for your business growth, make great things happen for your customers to make them RAVE fans of your business.

Oh if you outsource your customer support, remember to teach these lessons to your support guy… do not let him be ever rude to your customers, who have PAID you their hard earned money.

Best Regards,
Mohsin Rasool

Start up File Helps Your Startup Business

June 14, 2010 by Mohsin Rasool

How many times it has happened that we were doing something on our computer and time just ran out. We had to quit, no problem we resume it soon. And then time passes… We login to our pc back next day and we have forgot the most important thing we were almost 92.74% done!

If there would be some reminder who can remind us just the moment we are at computer just browsing and having leisure time. One thing is to have Coach always remind you of your goals and actions.

But I use this little trick and it works, a startup file in my pc, a simple Notepad file. Well I have a simple notepad file in my pc, listing little todo I am working on. And I have dragged the short-cut to this file in Startup folder of my PC.

Now everytime I login to my PC, this file opens up automatically and I know exactly what needs to be done. Yeah often time i find myself skipping it but it really keep coming up and finally things in that file are taken care and new things are added.

Today just i logged in to my pc, and this file just jumped in saying: Write Blog post! So here i am writing with the tip I am using quite effectively.

Ok what is the take away for you? You can create a simple Notepad or text file in your pc or mac, and make it open on Start-up. And keep adding stuff in it you want to get done and onward it is self reminding system. Everytime you login to your pc first thing you will see is this file asking you to finish up at least one item in this list of todos.

How to setup a file to open in Start-Up you can google for insturctions for the operating system you are using in your computer. For most common operating system it is as following:

1. First of all create Notepad file say Today.txt

2. Now create a Short-cut for this, by right clicking on it and click Send to > Desktop (create short-cut)

3. Now you will have new shortcut link at your desktop to this newly created file. You can drag or copy/paste this icon to Startup folder of your computer so Windows always opens up this file when your computer starts.

Where is startup folder in your computer?

Well in XP it is here:

C:Documents and Settings%USERNAME%Start MenuProgramsStartup

Just replace %USERNAME% with your user name on your pc.

For Vista it is here:

Click the “Start” button, Click “All Programs” then right click the “Startup” folder. And click OPEN

For Window 7 it is here:

same as above for VISTA.

let me know if this works for you or not?

Regards,

Mohsin
