+* sizes of things in C#:
+```
+sizeof(Vector2) = 8
+sizeof(Vector3) = 12
+sizeof(Vector4) = 16
+sizeof(Color) = 4
+sizeof(VertexPositionColor) = 16
+```
+
+* To call sizeof(), wrap it in an unsafe block, like:
+```csharp
+unsafe {
+  Debug.WriteLine("sizeof(Vector2) = " + sizeof(Vector2));
+}
+```
+You also have to check a tickybox: `Project > Properties > [X] Allow unsafe code`.

+* Add git remotes for both gitlab and github:
+
+```
+git remote add origin git@github.com:mcmillen/sneak-private.git
+git remote add gitlab git@gitlab.com:SemiColinGames/sneak-private.git
+```
+
+Then you can `git push origin` or `git push gitlab`.
+
+* Remove a remote:
+
+```
+git remote remove github
+```
+
+* Push code to private and public repositories:
+
+```
+git push && tools/copybara/copybara.sh
+```
+
+(previously: `git push origin && git push gitlab && tools/copybara/copybara.sh`)
+
+* Find all TODOs:

+```
+grep TODO $(git ls-tree -r master --name-only)
+```
+
+* Fix file endings for all C# files:

+```
+git ls-tree -r master --name-only | grep ".cs$" | xargs dos2unix
+```
