A collection of succinct, practical guides on developer topics like environment variables, npm configuration, and Docker permissions, published under CC0. It is a curated set of short markdown documents rather than software.

Use cases

  • learn how to set environment variables on macos and linux
  • install npm packages globally without sudo
  • run docker commands without sudo
  • use npm through a corporate proxy
  • run a node.js server alongside apache
  • launch an app on startup on macos
  • avoid accidentally deleting files with rm
  • back up settings for a mac app

When to choose

  • you want quick, concise answers to common macos/linux/node developer setup questions
  • you need freely reusable (public domain) reference material

When to avoid
