  clang-format is a tool that can format source code of C-like languages (C / C++ / Java / JavaScript / Objective-C / Protobuf). It supports various presets but it is also possible to fine tune its behavior with a configuration file named .clang-format. It has quite a lot configuration options.

• Playing with TeamCity on Azure

  Mar 10, 2018

  I spent the past two days playing with setting up TeamCity on Azure. This is just a poc more than anything else, but it’s always fun to do something new. I had to fiddle about with some things that didn’t work as expected, so here are some notes to remember what I did.

• Removing git submodules

  Sep 30, 2017

  Submodules is an advanced git feature. It allows you to have a folder inside your repository which serves as a link to a different repository. Working with submodules is more complicated and I haven’t had a real need for it so far.

• On git branching models

  Sep 23, 2017

  Usually, when you work with a version control system like git, development happens in multiple branches.

• Syncing Sublime Text 3 with Git

  Aug 17, 2015

  I use Sublime Text 3 at home and at work. I use it on many computers and platforms. In this kind of setup, maintaining a consistent configuration across multiple installations can be a challenge. It just doesn’t feel right, when you switch to work on a different laptop and suddenly some package is missing here or some setting is different there. You want to simply have the same settings everywhere, without spending too much time on configuration.

  When you have a web application that stores data in it’s App_Data folder, at some point you’ll want to synchronize the development environment(s) with the live environment. This way your development machine will have the latest live data. This is a task that can be achieved with git.
