Me on Codeberg.

A post on how git forges might be, or can be.

A git forge for queer folk. What's not to like?

Yet another week; yet another supply chain attack...

I've seen this style of commit on and off for a while now. I'm not a huge fan, but I get the idea. What I hadn't realised is that there was a "standard" behind this and even some documentation for it.

I'm not really a VSCode user but... this is so stupid. I love it.

You can add notes to commits in git. It's almost never spoken about.

Pretty good guide to an approach to a git branching strategy.

Simple guide to setting up and configuring git-gutter in Emacs.

"GQL is a query language with a syntax very similar to SQL with a tiny engine to perform queries on .git files instance of database files, the engine executes the query on the fly without the need to create database files or convert .git files into any other format, note that all Keywords in GQL are case-insensitive similar to SQL."

I've long disliked the approach some people take of writing one-word git commit messages. While this example might be a wee bit over the top, I'd much rather see this level of care over the craft.

Generate a full history of your GitHub contributions.

A tutorial/reference that covers a lot of detail about git.

Article relating to best practices as a git user. Some gems in here.

As this article says, I've always tended to drop down to the CLI to delete a branch, and ensure it's cleaned from the remote, etc. Somehow I'd never picked up on the fact that Magit just handles this. And of course, it does, Magit does so much!

Very simple config change to git that makes diffs so much more useful for so many more languages -- especially Python in my case.

Neat site that provides an animated view of the history of a file in git (well, mostly on GitHub and similar forges). Could be handy if ever needing to demonstrate how some code evolved.

It's time to drop the "master" branch and use something better.

Small number of handy git hints from GitLab.

Handy little tool that can be used to get a flavour of how long you've spent working on a particular project. While it's not going to be 100% accurate, it will give a vague sense of duration.

Incident report on the "git ransom" attack from earlier on this month.

Handy document for reminding myself on how to keep a fork in sync.
