AVA Tutorial
avajs/ava: 🚀 Testing can be a drag. AVA helps you get it done.
A concurrent test runner from the Andromeda galaxy. If I was to stray from Jasmine then it could only be for a project Sindre Sorhus is working on :) The screenshots on the project site promised extensive assertion failure output with clean stack traces and built-in Promise, async/await, Observable and React component support. So I tried it out and yup, AVA delivered.
Get Started
# Install
npm init ava
# Run tests
npx ava --watch --verbose

Rubber Duck Debugging
Talk to the Duck
When confronted with a problem, don’t ask the person next to you for help right away, he’s probably doing something important as well!
Instead, first tell the duck about it – out loud. If you don’t get to a solution, start explaining your problem in more and more detail until it hits you. If the mere explanation led to a solution, you avoid unwillingly turning your colleague into a CardboardProgrammer.
Create a new blog post
This is something for me (or anyone else really) because I keep forgetting all this stuff.

Git Assume Unchanged
Ideally one would create a new gitignored file to configure an application to fit his local development environment but when you do have to revert to modifying a committed configuration file, at least there is “git assume unchanged” to avoid committing your changes in these files accidentally.
Assume Unchanged
# Git assume a file
git update-index --assume-unchanged fileName
# And unassume with
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged fileName
