This is more a "note to self" in case I need to do this again.

We use hub at work mainly to convert GitHub issues to pull requests. For Mac users, you can install it by simply typing in brew install hub. But for Linux users, the installation is a little bit more complicated.

Below is the easy way to do it:

sudo apt-get install ruby
sudo curl https://hub.github.com/standalone -Lo /usr/bin/hub
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/hub
