wasm-pack
Your favorite rust -> wasm workflow tool!
This tool seeks to be a one-stop-shop for building and working with rust-generated WebAssembly that you would like to interop with JavaScript, in the browser or with Node.js. wasm-pack helps you build rust-generated WebAssembly packages that you could publish to the npm registry, or otherwise use alongside any javascript packages in workflows that you already use, such as webpack. This project is a part of the rust-wasm group. You can find more info by visiting that repo! Currently, wasm-pack requires that you have npm installed to pack and publish your package. Long-term, this will be replaced by a Rust-only version. If you would rather use another package manager that interfaces with the npm registry you may, however, the pack, publish, and login commands wrap the npm CLI interface and as a result require that npm be installed. -

If you develop in C# and your code is loaded as a module/plugin into a host application, you can use Harmony to alter the functionality of all the available assemblies of that application. Where other patch libraries simply allow you to replace the original method, Harmony goes one step further. It is also used in unit testing WPF controls and in many other areas. Installation is done by using 0Harmony.dll in your project or by using the Lib.Harmony nuget package. -

Standard Version
Automate versioning and CHANGELOG generation
Automate versioning and CHANGELOG generation, with semver.org and conventionalcommits. A utility for versioning using semver and CHANGELOG generation powered by Conventional Commits. This has the benefit of making your repo/package more portable so that other developers can cut releases without having to globally install standard-version on their machines. Any of the command line parameters accepted by standard-version can instead be provided via configuration. Please refer to the conventional-changelog-config-spec for details on available configuration options. As long as your git commit messages are conventional and accurate, you no longer need to specify the semver type - and you get CHANGELOG generation for free! If you use git hooks, like pre-commit, to test your code before committing, you can prevent hooks from being verified during the commit step by passing the --no-verify option. -

tetris
A terminal interface for Tetris
A terminal interface for Tetris. Installation on MacOS and Linux is outlined below. Windows support is questionable, but you can try to install from source. The default game is run by simply executing the tetris command. If the unicode characters look a bit wonky in your terminal, you can also run. People seem to have varying levels of success with the linux binary. Please note that it is compiled dynamically and hence should not be expected to work on most distros. This code is built on top of brick which makes building terminal user interfaces very accessible.
