git remove tracking local branch when push to...
I’m not sure if the title is right or wrong. I know that there’s no such thing as local tracking branch. But what I want to do is to remove the local branch from being pushed when I do “git push”.

Avoiding Notices: When to Use isset() and empty() →
Good article regarding isset() and empty(). I would recommend avoid using empty() if possible and instead use strlen() for checking for empty string or array. Reason being non-assigned variables or empty assigned variables, both give the same result. I recommend you to read the article to understand when to use the isset() and empty() functions.

Git Is Simpler Than You Think

It was about one year ago that we switched to Git. Previously, we used Subversion, through the Mac app Versions, which (rightly) holds an Apple Design Award.
I made the executive decision to leave our comfy world of Versions because it seemed clear that Git was winning the Internet. There was much grumbling from my teammates, who were busy enough doing actual work thank you...
