Spell checking on your Git commits with VIM!


Hey all!  This is a quick tip for all you guys using git version control, and the command line.  Have you wanted to get spell checking into a basic editor but wasn't sure how to get it in vim automatically (but maybe you don't want to enable it in your ~/.vimrc for everything)?

Lucky you, I have an easy solution.  To enable spell checking in vim for all your git commits, it's as easy as one command.  In bash type (or copy paste, I won't tell anyone you dirty cheater):


git config --global core.editor "vim -c \"setlocal spell spelllang=en_us\""




That's all there is to it.  All your commits on all your projects will now use vim with spell check on by default.  That's US English of course, for other languages please substitute your language type.

To get help on spell just type in vim:

:h spell

 Here's some basic commands to get you started :

  • ]s next spell error
  • [s previous spell error
  • zg add word to spellfile (correct words list)
  • z= spell suggestions
  • :help spell for more details
So now at least you can look like you care about your commit comments.

Have fun and happy viming and git'ing. :)

    you can put it in the .vimrc to make it available everywhere

    nika@localhost /tmp/1 $ grep spell ~/.vimrc
    setlocal spell spelllang=ru_ru

      Yes, very true. However, I didn't want spell checking on by default on all documents/code, but I knew I ALWAYS wanted it for git commits. Definitely, if you want it always on, for all things, put it in your ~/.vimrc.

      Thanks for checking reading my post!

Development on Android NDK Tutorial - Gluing C++ Native Code to Java

Image
Too busy to draw this time.. for now here's a picture of an Android Toy Ok, in this post I am going to talk about how to join C++ native code to a thin Android Java code layer.  I am not going to be doing all native code, as I think the easiest route is to use the Android higher level convenience SDK for loading resources/file I/O, setting up OpenGL context and other state management. I won't be using any IDEs or anything else to complicate things.  This is as easy as it can get, you get the source and type "make" (I assume you are on a system with GNU make, and your environment is setup correctly.  Linux is easiest, but it should run fine on ANY system that can run Make, even Windows!). So the code will be structured like this: -----------------------------------  Android SDK OS Layer code -----------------------------------   Java App Thin Layer to Android OS -----------------------------------   Native C++ code called by...

You when you don't read this tutorial For cheaters, here's the code, right away, to play with : https://github.com/Razzlegames/GodotBubbleShaderTutorial Refrac-What? So what is refraction?  In simple terms light bends and changes direction as it goes from one medium to another. For example when it passes through water in a glass, it slows down and changes direction causing a distorted appearance to anyone looking through the glass.  Different materials have different refraction amount, and the angle and effect is more pronoun...

Godot Tutorial: How to read all files in EVERY sub directory (Breadth/Depth first Search)     Hey all, So I was thinking of writing some automated smoke tests in Godot for a project I'm working on and I realized, I don't think I've ever done directory I/O in Godot. - The tools is so well integrated that I've never really had to mess with it yet. - I'm willing to bet many of you guys haven't either. - Don't worry it's easy, lets get into it. You'll learn: - How to read all files in a directory to process however you'd like - How to use Depth First Search - How to use Breadth First Search - The order that both search styles will traverse a tree Code From Tutorial: How to use: - Create a "Node" type of Godot Node    - Note in Video I used Node2D which is OK, but slighly better to use plain Node since no 2D coords etc are needed - Attach this script to that Node: https://gist.github.com/Razzlegames/28dcb74ba...
