Background
In the second post in this series, we see that the space in the path of Git Bash can become a source of trouble.
Problem
How to run external commands in GVim Portable invoked by Git Bash?
Git for Windows, Curl, Gist.vim With Vundle (3)
Background
A VIMRC is important for efficient text editing. It can be over one
hundred lines. It’s good to have the changes tracked. One entire
folder .git for one single text file will be too much. Since my
VIMRCs don’t have anything secret, I upload them to Gist like many
other users, and read others’ configuration files so as to learn from
them.
Nonetheless, my workflow of uploading Gists on M$ Win* was not quite
efficient. Therefore, I re-read the installation instructions for
Gist.vim. Since curl.cmd has already been set up during the
installation of Vundle.vim, I used Vundle to install Gist.vim.
Due to the problem mentioned in the previos post in this series, I opened GVim from Command Prompt instead of Git Bash.
Problem
I have already configure github.user to my GitHub user name, but
Gist.vim still complained that no GitHub user name was found.
You have not configured a Github account. Read ":help gist-vim-setup".
Git for Windows, Curl, Gist.vim With Vundle (2)
Background
I had been using pathogen.vim to manage plugin. When it comes to keeping the plugins up-to-date, I used a for-loop.
Problem
I would like to change it to Vundle since I didn’t know how to update the helptags after merging the commits from GitHub. Therefore, I followed the installation guide of Vundle. However, when I started updating, I got the following error.
Processing 'tpope/vim-fugitive'

How can I get the Vim plugin updates?
Rake Deploy Fatal Error
Background
I had finished writing my previous post. In rake preview, I
got the desired output. Then, the next step is to commit the changes
and to deploy the generated contents to GitHub Pages.
Problem
A large block of red text appeared after I ran rake deploy. The
commit on the master branch was unsuccessful.
$ rake deploy

How can I update my blog on GitHub Pages?
Git for Windows, Curl, Gist.vim With Vundle (1)
Background
I installed msysgit 1.9.0, and added its bash utilities to PATH.
Problem
I attempted to open an HTML file with curl. However, I got the
following error.
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (curl 'http://www.vim.org/index.html' -o 'C:/Temp
/PortableApps/gVimPortable/Data/Temp/VIA1ED5.html')
curl: (1) Protocol "'http" not supported or disabled in libcurl
shell returned 1
Hit any key to close this window...
Discussion
In the first line of the code block, cmd.exe with option /c ran
the command in the parenthesis (). I copied the command inside ()
and ran it in cmd.exe, and the error was reproduced.
It’s easy to find the cause of the problem. I typed “curl protocol”
on the Google search web page, and the rest of the error message
appeared in the list of suggestions. In the first search result,
which was a Stack Overflow question, I learnt why this
error occurred from the first answer—in the Command Prompt, one
needs to use double quotes "" instead of single quotes ''. In Git
Bash, this doesn’t matter.
Since curl was bundled with msysgit, I suspected that the installed
version of Git was too old. I then upgraded it.
Lessons learnt
- For a shell program (e.g. Command Prompt, bash), the option
-c(or/c) stands for “command”, and what’s left is the command to be run. curlwill grab content from the input URL and display it as standard output. To save the downloaded content in a file, the flag-o, which means “output”, can be used.
Testing Octopress and Ruby 2.0 on Windows 7 (3)
Background
I was writing my previous post, which was about my recent Mik$\rm \TeX$ update.
Problem
After having finished it, I tried rake generate, and got results
similar to the first picture of the first post in this series.
Last time, I solved this problem by creating the batch file
python2.bat in the folder where Python had been installed (i.e.
C:\Python27). This time, the BAT file is already there. In (Git)
CMD, both which python and which python2 are fine. However, in
Git bash, I run into trouble.

Mik$\rm \TeX$ Update (2)
Background
I need to write something in $\rm \LaTeX$.
Problem
I can’t get any update by clicking “Update Mik$\rm \TeX$” in the
icon triggered by miktex-portable.cmd. I faced the same problem as
rantrave’s.
Fixed Jekyll-Bootstrap Asset Path
Background
As I’ve said in Jekyll Blog Page Build Warning, GitHub Pages have upgraded to 3.0.
Problem
The Twitter theme for every post in Blog 2 was gone, but the home page and the archive page still looked good.
I viewed Jekyll-Bootstrap’s issue list. The
“{{ ASSET_PATH }}” in the title of
issue #295 caught my eyes. Feeling that changing
_config.yml is too troublesome and prone to error, I clicked some
links for related web pages, such as
a relevant page in Jekyll’s documentation, but I didn’t know
what to do.
Hyperlinks in Ordered Lists in Markdown in Vim
Background
Same as the one in my previous post.
I usually write hyperlinks for software names using only one pair of
square brackets, like [Vim] instead of [Vim][Vim]. Even though
this isn’t standard, this is more convenient.
Problem
I want to start the second item of the following ordered list with a hyperlink to textobj-lastpat written in a short but non-standard way.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | |
Unluckily, as I typed this Vim Ex command to see whether my Markdown syntax was correct, I quickly received an error from kramdown.
:!kramdown % > %<.html
You may click “donwload” at the top right hand corner of the codeblock below to see the effect of the result generated by ihe Markdown parser.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | |
Warning: Duplicate link ID 'textobj-lastpat' on line 13 - overwriting
Press ENTER or type command to continue
Solution
This time, I won’t find out what’s wrong from the error message because writing that hyperlink in the standard way is the quickest solution that I know.
Indentation of Titles in Markdown Files in Vim
Background
While I was writing a post about a technical problem encountered while writing another post about Venn diagram, I encountered another technical problem.
Problem
I tried including the error message into the previous post by the Vim
editor command :r ~/lang:text temp-swp.mkd. To have it surrounded with
<pre><code> in HTML, one needs to indent it by four spaces.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | |
I usally do this by applying the right-shift operator > to the text
selected in visual line mode. However, the line starting with #
wasn’t indented like the others.
