View Only Headers with Curl
HEAD
request changes the output I get, so I really do want to GET
and then only see the headers.
Handily, when you use the -v
verbose flag with curl, it sends the output to stdout as usual, but the extra information including the headers goes to stderr. This means that I can therefore view the headers only throwing away stdout completely:
curl -v -s http://awesome-site.com 1> /dev/null
(you need the -s
to stop curl from “helpfully” printing progress bars as well)
Video: Git Remotes and Tracking Branches
I also blogged about the tracking branches in a bit more detail if you’re interested.
Understanding Tracking Branches in Git
Some branches in git (such as your origin/master branch) will usually track the remote branch that they are related to. But what if you want to create a relationship between local and remote branches? Or stop them from tracking? Here’s some pointers Continue reading

Logging to Stdout with Monolog
I’m a huge fan of Monolog so I grabbed that, but it wasn’t immediately obvious which of the many and varied options I would need for this fairly simple addition. It turns out that the right thing to use is the ErrorLogHandler
, so now my code looks like this:
<?php
require "vendor/autoload.php";
$logger = new \Monolog\Logger("log");
$logger->pushHandler(new \Monolog\Handler\ErrorLogHandler());
$logger->addInfo("Something happened");
And the output is neatly in lines like this:
[2014-06-05 17:00:47] log.INFO: Something happened [] []
You can do a lot of different things with Monolog, but since I had to look up this simplest of all options, I thought I’d share.
Colourless Git Output
Try putting the following into .git/config
:
[color]
branch = false
diff = false
interactive = false
status = false
I had expected to be able to set color.ui
to false but that didn’t seem to make much difference, so I now use the settings above. I thought I’d drop it here in case anyone else is looking for the same thing.
