When will GitHub change its pricing?

Today Bitbucket supports git.

Not very surprising since git is amazingly awesome (well, with a few exceptions like this but sh!t happens). I use git in almost everything that involves code, and there are a lot of areas where I do. The problem is I don't want my repo to be shared, but I really want them to be stored safely on the cloud (ehem). But GitHub doesn't support private repo until we pay for it. And with their cheapest plan, GitHub only allows 5 private repos and 1 collaborator. That sucks! Yeah, I paid for GitHub but mostly because I need to share my repo with my friend. I hope GitHub will adapt itself soon and start supporting private repos for free of charge. That would be great...

Btw, you should check out one of my repo in GitHub. It's quite interesting ;) GitHub or read it here.

  1. I think there're more protocol to share with Git ( Github only use git ), you can use ssh :-b

  2. You should checkout:

    - unfuddle.com (free private git/svn repo, 2 people)
    - codebasehq.com (great cheap plans)
    - bitbucket.com (now support git repo as well, free)

  3. I have used Bitbucket.org (.com domain is not the same I believe). Tried Hg too. But to be honest, being on the largest network (GitHub) is a big plus. Making everything easier to achieve...

Flutter: Fixing Firebase header not found with Notification Service Extension

If you follow the FCM tutorial Send an image in the notification payload and encountered this error message: 'FirebaseMessaging/FirebaseMessaging.h' file not found You are on the right place, I'm going to show you how to fix it. My app was working fine but one day it stopped compiling. Apparently Flutter 1.20 changed the way it uses CocoaPod so the service extension no longer has the proper library configured. After some tinkering, I came up with this pod config, it has to be added to ios/Podfile below the main Runner target. target 'FcmImage' do use_frameworks! use_modular_headers! require File.expand_path('../.symlinks/plugins/firebase_core/ios/firebase_sdk_version.rb', __FILE__) firebase_sdk_version = firebase_sdk_version! pod 'Firebase/Messaging', "~> #{firebase_sdk_version}" end FcmImage is my extension name, replace it with yours We can use a hardcoded version for Firebase/Messaging pod but doing so m...

OAuth with Google, Twitter and... Facebook!

This is sick! Just a few days ago, I ran into OAuth as I want to get my GMail feed based on Google Data API . I succeeded. With a little help of an OAuth open source ( here , available in several programming languages). Then I remember that I once heard that Twitter also uses OAuth as an authentication option so I turned into Twitter and had a good read. Finally, I found out that they are basically the same (hehe, it's obvious since OAuth 1.0 is a worldwide standard). I had an idea of writing a universal class which can handle both Google and Twitter OAuth functionalities. It's not too hard. I took most of the idea from the PHP example ( here , PHP only). I also made a small script which accepts URI to send and intercept response from Google & Twitter servers. At that moment, I was so excited with all the ideas but actually it has no real world benefit so I just left it there... Until today, in the F8 (says "fate") conference of Facebook, I was stunned fin...
