Git on linux - a few fixes to some issues

A brief list of issues and ways to resolve when working on linux

Attempting to communicate with the server but this happens eg:

#git remote show origin

(gnome-ssh-askpass:18745): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:12.0

Yep I do not have a display. Solution;

#unset SSH_ASKPASS

Attempt to push the first version of the repo but this happens:

#git push -u origin master

error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://github.com/S-Stephen/RECK.git/info/refs


fatal: HTTP request failed

Turns out that I cut and pasted the code from github to setup the repo which included the line:

git remote add origin https://github.com/My-Username/APPNAME.git

This does not include the username I wish to login as I therefor eneed to change this locally to be:

https://My-Username@github.com/My-Username/APPNAME.git

To do this:

# git remote set-url origin https://My-Username@github.com/My-Username/APPNAME.git

And away we go:

I did a #git add * but too much got added including my config/local.js file. 

Before the commit remove this:

# git reset config/local.js

Including emoji / unicode characters to email subject from a scipt

💣 Time to add special characters to your email subjects

I came across this problem when someone asked for emails from my web application to stand out in their inbox.  The emails were informing a user that an alarm had gone off and they would like a bomb or similar to appear in their inbox. 

After a bit of googling and finding many sites that explained how to do this manually (cut and paste characters or using particular 'clipboard' style tools).  I figured out the answer of how to embed the unicode into the message.

So given my script (a nodejs application) I followed the recipe below:

Find the character the user is interested in for example search a site like http://www.fileformat.info

Once you have found the required character locate the UTF-8 (hex string) in the case of the alarm clock (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/23f0/index.htm): 'e28fb0'

Embed this in the subject string via: =?UTF-8?Q?=E2=8F=B0?= (ie enclose the hex in =?UTF-8?Q?= and ?=).

Send message and as long as their mail agent supports the character hey hoe!
