Why do nerds always do this; overcomplicate everything?

Generating public/private key pairs isn't simple, but it's pretty common by now. I do it every time I set up #git on a new computer. I do it when I use #PGP. I do it when I #ssh

Nerds were like; "I know let's encode the private key in a series of words so people can memorize them" and now you've got two private keys!

How to Remove Local Git Branches by Creating Git Aliases

It's been a while since I've used GitLab - I just logged a few issues on a project hosted on gitlab.com and I had completely forgotten how much nicer the experience is compared with Github.

Even for simply logging a bug report - the issue tracking experience feels lighter and less cumbersome.

Github these days feels like bunch of teams desperately fighting over who's feature should take priority - where as GitLab feels much more like a single product experience.

I'm (clearly) no UX person so there's probably a better term for it - but the UI feels much less hostile than Github.

It's a real shame that GitLab was showered in VC funding and had to significantly raise prices to meet profit demands.

So now I can maintain my #Neovim config separately like I want and also easily merge changes from upstream as they occur. Sweet :)

Any devs that work with both #GitHub and #Codeberg repos? How are y'all setting up #Git to work between projects on the different sites?

I feel like the simple solution is to create two OS accounts on my Mac and switch between them, one is "Codeberg" work and the other is "GitHub" work.

Or...push everything to GitHub and have it sync over to Codeberg? That seems to completely defeat the purpose.

Or maybe I'm making this too complex. That's been known to happen.

I used to think that having to use a command line was a sign of failure. Some dev was just too lazy to write a GUI for a process and I had to suffer because of it.

Since I started coding in Python (and a bit earlier when I started doing Node.js) I have been using the command line more and more. And now I am even doing my git commits and pushes using it.

Beyond Git: The other version control systems developers use
https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/01/09/beyond-git-the-other-version-control-systems-developers-use/

I have been using #git for a decade and I still have the feeling I am learning something new about it every week.

This week it is about funny reference name.

One can't push to `refs/branchname` since the C implementation of git requires the reference name to have two levels, jGit accepts them though which leads to interesting corner cases.

Looking at my classmates struggle with #git reminds me of my past self and makes me which git had a beginner mode: You are not allowed to change history, only save it.

Is there a way to clone a #git repo, and in a single, step set both the origin and upstream remotes? Every single time I clone a repo, I have to rename one remote and add another remote. I would be great to say here's origin, and upstream and each remote URI. #github

The latest #git 2.41.0 release now allows you to delete a few lines from your global configuration which is nice. Here's a commit from my Dotfiles project which explains more: https://github.com/bkuhlmann/dotfiles/commit/7dc6894160ef3f04700560570e741894e842174d

Also, you can let Git calculate how many commits you are ahead/behind on a feature branch (see screenshot). I'm thinking of folding this into my Bash shell prompt and branch list functions. 🎉

Git - Large File Storage

Git is ruling the development world like no other. At some point, you may find photos, diagrams or other documents in your code, to keep track of them. But, is it really ok to store large files or even binaries in your code?

I'm starting #git bisect over for the fourth time because *again* I forgot that I'm required to run:

turns out that git can be handy as a general-purpose merkel tree differ even when you're operating on data that git doesn't know anything about.. Just sha1 some internal data, shove the shas into a tree, and git diff away.

In my case, I'm hashing basiclaly inodes..

@benaryorg @natty point taken - both options are valid and can be used since they don't conflict each other.

Ideally said dotfiles would be synced and versioned with something like a #git (and/or maybe #rsync) and be identical on all machines of the same type.

@theresnotime it is in `.git/HEAD` (ex: `ref: refs/heads/master`) which can not be beheaded:
```

But you can change your HEAD:
```

#git #github #gitlab #package #extensions

I believe that #codereview should be interactive. You can't just toss a big change set over the fence to a coworker and expect them to give you useful feedback based only on that. They should be able to ask questions, and the author should be responsible for answering them completely. #webdev #software #agile #git #programming

I'm super disappointed in #HACS for using #git repositories as the base object, and then just NOT cloning them properly, but I think #homeassistant core might be worse. Lets examine the #blueprint update process. These #blueprints are installed inside the UI by pasting a URL into a box and clicking "go". Using them is a simple web form. Both are VERY easy.

The update page STARTS with "Blueprints might change only once or twice." HA is the update-breakingest app I've ever used and I used to run Win95 as a satellite internet gateway.

AHEM. Anyway. Lets update a broken blueprint. From the docs:
First you need to find the raw blueprint files. Good luck.
But wait! By default there is NO ACCESS to those files! So step zero is to figure that out.
Oh, and step 1/2 is to get an editor, which may involve redoing step zero.

OK. Editor and files. Now you just need to ... know how to edit code without breaking it. A lot harder than "paste this url and answer questions".

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/using_blueprints/#keeping-blueprints-up-to-date

Hey you! If you ever, ever, use #github, #gitlab (etc) you need to read this. Every #maker, and most everyone else, ESPECIALLY those of you who are NOT #developers. (Contributors/devs usually have local copies already.)
The first hour of my day was just wasted chasing down an error in #HACS that turns out to be "Dev deleted their repositories on github and now #homeassistant is mad"

The problem is not that the developer chose to stop supporting their work. That is their prerogative and my only role is to be sad. The problem is that we learned nothing from https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/03/rage-quit-coder-unpublished-17-lines-of-javascript-and-broke-the-internet/

#GIT ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN COPY. The downloads and tarballs are not the same thing. They are partial copies at best. Even "forking" (on the same site) can be deleted at the original author's whim.
To actually have your own copy, it needs to be somewhere else. On a new site (if the original is on #github you can put your copy on #gitlab) or even your laptop. And when you can, use your copy instead.👿

Starting a new job is a good reminder of all the little #iOSDev techniques I've collected over the years.
Today I remembered how great #git worktree is: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree

Often I’m working on a branch with a bunch of changes, and want to test just a few of those changes against the main branch without losing my place.

I add a worktree with `git worktree add ~/repo_copy2 main`
`cd ~/repo_copy2`
`git cherry-pick <commit-with-small-changes>`
Open Xcode, build, confirm the change is good!

I've been using git for 13+ years and I still have no idea what "theirs" and "ours" mean when solving a conflict.

Ask me anything.

BTW, don't just do a #git repack, as it doesn't do a deep repack. git gc --aggressive is what you want.

I just tried it out:
$ (dd if=/dev/random count=1024 bs=1; dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=5) > somefile.bin
$ git add somefile.bin
$ git commit somefile.bin
$ dd if=/dev/random count=4096 bs=1 | dd of=somefile.bin oseek=3 bs=1m conv=notrunc
$ git commit somefile.bin
$ du -shc .git/objects/*
[...]
72K total
$ git repack
$ du -shc .git/objects/*
[...]
92K total

yes, an increase!!!

1/2

This also applies to your work repos as well. I probably have a number of #git repos that would benefit from a repack.

Here's another good explainer:
https://gist.github.com/matthewmccullough/2695758

Reading more on #git storage, and made me realize that you should git repack your repos that are on #ZFS shortly before snapshots that will be kept for long periods, that is often either weekly, or at the end of the month.

Because apparently the delta encoding only happens within a pack.

fun fact: #git used #curl before curl used git but both git's use of curl and curl's use of git have improved curl ... and I like to think that git's use of curl helps to make it a solid product.
