What Hacker News says
5 sourcesIf you do Go development, you can do this to quickly get to root folder of any Go package:
function gocd {
cd `go list -f '{{.Dir}}' $1`
}
It uses the same syntax as go list to specify packages, so you can do, e.g.:
~ $ gocd .../markdownfmt
markdownfmt $ pwd
/Users/Dmitri/Dropbox/Work/2013/GoLand/src/github.com/shurcooL/markdownfmt
markdownfmt $ _
So nice.
In OS X Command Line Utilities> Unwrapping plain text paragraphs is worse but not the end of the world. We start to toe the line with unwrapping my blockquotes.
What do you mean by "unwrapping"? Can you give an example please. I don't think it should be doing any unwrapping; blockquotes should be preserved (and nicely formatted) [1].
> You went way past that line when you removed the empty line at the end of the file.
It makes sure the last line has an ending newline, nothing more, nothing less. Any extra newlines are not visible in the generated HTML.
