Upstream Parity

To facilitate tracking the upstream changes:

Added a git remote called "upstream" which points at the github repo,
Added a local branch called "github/main" to track the "upstream" remote's "main" branch

To pull changes from the upstream project, run:

Directory structure for JavaScript/Node Projects

While the following structure is not an absolute requirement or enforced by the tools, it is a recommendation based on what the JavaScript and in particular Node community at large have been following by convention.

Beyond a suggested structure, no tooling recommendations, or sub-module structure is outlined here.

Directories

lib/ is intended for code that can run as-is
src/ is intended for code that needs to be manipulated before it can be used

Overview

Recently had a client that wanted to customize the layout for a category landing page so that the category's title and description would be displayed above the layered navigation and product grid — essentially creating a full-width section above the left sidebar and main content areas.

NOTE: For reference, this is based off the blog post from Collaboration133.com's Magento - Add Custom Structural Block Reference.

Custom Module (`My_LayoutMods`)

I created a custom module to help organize and identify that there are some custom modifications to layout templates. Not saying you have to, but it may be easier for other's (or your future self) to recognize and find what customizations were done (and hopefully why).

	# chmod +x install.rb
	# ./install.rb

	YOUR_HOME = ENV['HOME']
	HOMEBREW_PREFIX = "#{YOUR_HOME}/usr/local"
	system "mkdir -p #{HOMEBREW_PREFIX}"
	HOMEBREW_CACHE = "#{YOUR_HOME}/Library/Caches/Homebrew"
	HOMEBREW_REPO = 'https://github.com/Homebrew/brew'
