When setting up a new site using PHPUnit 8.x and PHP 7.2, I got the error message: setUp() must be compatible with PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::setUp Because we can now define the method as returning no value (with :void) and this is part of the method definition starting in PHPUnit 8.0.0, we need to add this in our […]

Modern Tribe Events Calendar Replace Default Event Link with Event Website
When using the WordPress plugin [The Events Calendar](https://theeventscalendar.com/) by Modern Tribe the default link in the calendar will point to the Event page. However, sometimes we want to point this link to the Event Website value (which we can set when creating the event). This is the code I use to do this.
Markdown Avoid Auto Numbering
I spend most of my time doing my writing in markdown. One of the features I have mixed feelings about, is auto-numbering of ordered. There are often times when I need to modify the numbering. I like to do this by adding a backslash (\) before the period after the number, which renders the list as text. If you want to render the list with the ol/li markup, you can write the exact markup you want in your markdown document and it will render without any modifications.

com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9956
When downloading video from my iPhone to my Mac using Image Capture, I sometimes (but not always) get the error, “The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9956.) (-9956)”. This is how I work around this error.
Vim Easy Align Custom Rule for $
I use Junegunn’s Vim plugin vim-easy-align to make it easier to align my code. This plugin does not have a default mapping for aligning the dollar sign ($). Because the plugin is designed to be extensible, I was able to add support for aligning by the dollar sign ($) by adding some lines to my .vimrc file.
View Current Commit Message during Git Rebase Conflict
When I do a git rebase and I get a conflict, I can use git log to see all the commits rebased thus far. However, I often get confused about what the current (incomplete) commit is that caused the conflict. It would be super helpful if I could see the commit message of the current commit. This command allows you to view the current (incomplete) commit during a rebase.
Vim Close All Buffers Except the Current One
Vim has a built-in command to close all windows except the current one (:only), which is nice for focusing on a single buffer. Sometimes I want to cleanup my buffers by closing all of the buffers except for the current one. This custom command is like :only for buffers instead of windows.
Brew Failure in Upgrading to the Development Version Neovim
I wanted to run the latest development version of Neovim (0.4.0) to use some of the latest features (e.g. the floating window). Unfortunately, my attempts to install it were failing. These are my notes on the problem and how I fixed it.
Vim netrw duplicate file
When using Vim sometimes I want to duplicate a file, however the default file explorer in Vim (netrw) does not handle this well. This is a Vim mapping I created to make duplicating a file easier.
