It is considered good practice to use a prefix when creating git archives, so that extraction will place all files inside a directory. To create an archive of HEAD with a directory prefix: git archive --output=archive-HEAD.zip --prefix=src-directory-name HEAD When extracted all the files will be...

It is also possible to create archives of other items than HEAD, such as branches, commits, tags, and directories. To create an archive of a local branch dev: git archive --output=archive-dev.zip --prefix=src-directory-name dev To create an archive of a remote branch origin/dev: git archive --...

With git archive it is possible to create compressed archives of a repository, for example for distributing releases. Create a tar archive of current HEAD revision: git archive --format tar HEAD | cat > archive-HEAD.tar Create a tar archive of current HEAD revision with gzip compression: gi...

MATLAB supports the use of logical masking in order to perform selection on a matrix without the use of for loops or if statements. A logical mask is defined as a matrix composed of only 1 and 0. For example: mask = [1 0 0; 0 1 0; 0 0 1]; is a logical matrix representing the identity matrix. ...

Creating a list from 1 to 10 is simple using range notation: [1..10] -- [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] To specify a step, add a comma and the next element after the start element: [1,3..10] -- [1,3,5,7,9] Note that Haskell always takes the step as the arithmetic difference between terms, and tha...
