If you are reading this, chances are that you use GitHub on a
regular basis.
Maybe that’s because you need to create new repositories for
your personal side projects, or simply because you have to
push your latest changes in a work project.
At the time of this pandemic, many individuals, publishing
institutions, and companies have been generous enough to help
people. Springer is one of them. The publishing company with
many textbooks that are used and recommended at many academic
and professional institutions.
You hear a lot of complaints from many people being in
quarantine these days. Shops, coffees, restaurants getting
closed. Countries getting into lockdown.
One of our human needs is the desire to be heard. One really
nice place to do that publicly is Medium, where you can reach
a large audience with your writing. Especially now that they
have started to promote articles.
GitHub is one of the most popular version control
repositories. In it, you can find countless public projects in
many programming languages.
I have already written an article about DownGit, which gives
you the ability to create a download link for GitHub projects.
This is a Chrome extension that you can use to add additional
functionalities that can be helpful to you from time to time.
Do you remember your high school math teacher talking about
logarithms? Maybe you did not have a clear picture of it.
Maybe you did not understand it in the beginning or were a bit
annoyed. Why are we learning something that we will probably
never use in real-life in the first place?
You hear a lot of books and videos mention a lot of things
about habits these days. I believe that’s worth doing because
habits are behaviors that we do consistently on auto-pilot
without thinking too much about them, whether we like them or
not.
As such, we need to be aware of unproductive habits and only
build productive ones.
To help with that, I recently published an
article
on TowardsDataScience publication that I hope can help with
that.
I really like Google Docs and Google Sheets as I can use them
freely in my phone, or laptop, that I can also share with
others and invite them to collaborate.
As you are still reading this, chances are that you are also a
user of these two helpful services. You need to browse through
the old files, edit them, or create new ones.
There is a really quick way to create new such files without
having to initially go to the landing dashboard where
you see all the documents or sheets and then choose to create
a new one.
Recently, I learned that there are 2 domains that are very
handy, assuming that you are already signed in:
doc.new redirects you
directly to the page for creating a new Google Doc
sheet.new redirects you to
a page where you can create a new Google Sheet
Yeah, plain and simple, just like how things we use a lot we
wished they were.
I hope this saves you a few seconds of your precious time.
