deprecated

You live, you build terrible projects which should never see the light of day, and -- if you're very lucky -- you learn something from that experience.

This repo contains that middle chunk -- projects I built which should never see the light of day, but which I feel like I should keep world-readable for whatever reason.

For the love of all that is good in this world, I recommend against reading through this code. Your eyes will bleed.

Usage

When deprecating a project, I find it useful to keep the relevant git history. Example commands I use for this are:

# to deprecate the `octodash` project folder in `thekevjames/web`
git clone [email protected]:TheKevJames/web.git /tmp/depr
cd /tmp/depr

git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter octodash -- -- all
mkdir octodash/
git mv <files> octodash/

git add .
git commit -m 'chore(octodash): prepare for deprecation'

cd ~/src/personal/deprecated
git remote add depr /tmp/depr
git fetch depr
git branch depr remotes/depr/master
git merge depr --allow-unrelated-histories
git branch -d depr
git remote rm depr

rm -rf /tmp/depr

TODO: git filter-branch tells me I should use git filter-repo instead.
