I always assumed that, when people dedicated their work, they all first finished the thing and then wrote the dedication. That would mean dedicating the (say) book as a finished object, something concrete that one has compiled or created and can then be offered with few reservations.

Belatedly I've come to realize I'm not that kind of person, so I find myself dedicating a draft instead. Writing these lines as I write them now means dedicating a set of ideas first, and my clumsy implementation of these ideas second -- the latter amounting currently to little more than well meaning aspirations.

It seems appropriate, then, to dedicate this fuzzy set of ideas and aspirations to a fuzzily defined group instead of a concrete list of individuals.

To my friends.

May you be happy!

Look, an Agora!

Tricks

Writing a Git Commit Message

Article Reference

  • Concise and consistent length and form
  • Communicate clear context about a change to fellow developers. Ensure that other developers understand why a change was made.

Rules

  • Separate subject from body with a blank line if the body is to be used.
  • Limit subject line to 50 characters
  • Capitalize subject line
  • Do not end with period
  • Use imperative mood; I 'do' this. Rationale: If applied, the commit will change these aspects of the code. Git's own built-in conventions use this form.
  • Wrap at 72 characters
  • Use the body to explain 'what' and 'why' as necessary

Organization Thoughts

github organization:

  • one repo per course - as most courses require partner work

= repo for coding challenge practice problems

  • managing research notes: ??? i am thinking a single org file for all of this
  • - that is, an org file in each project for the research notes pertaining to that project,
  • - and anotherorg file for misc. research ?? i will have to see how my research is used

Rewriting

It's a good idea to reformat commits to make them more readable.

git reset HEAD~${number of commits to go back}

Tricks

Patch previous commits with rebases

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9103396/how-do-i-edit-a-previous-git-commit If you need to change commit history:

  • Make another commit to make the change
  • Rebase starting at the commit you want to change
  • Squash the new commit with the old one in the history
  • Remove the second commit message (or merge it…)

This did change the commit time for my latest commit, which is something to watch out for.

Worktrees

  • A git repository can have multiple working trees - allowing you to check out more than one workspace at a time!
    • Among other things, this allows you to work on multiple branches at once without having multiple copies of the file, and maps git branches or tags to other directories on your system. Use it to check on different efforts on projects without messing up your current editing environment - to look at code from other branches locally and simultaneously, for example!
  • `git worktree add $PATH` :: Adds a new branch with a name associated with the final component of $PATH. `git worktree remove` and `git worktree prune` both allow you to cut off external worktrees.
  • Flow example: latest develop, latest branch of work, and a third for reviewing pull requests and/or the work from other developers.

Different from SVN
It is important to note that this is very different from most SCM systems that you may be familiar with. Subversion, CVS, Perforce, Mercurial and the like all use Delta Storage systems - they store the differences between one commit and the next.
Git does not do this - it stores a snapshot of what all the files in your project look like in this tree structure each time you commit. This is a very important concept to understand when using Git.
Git’s pack files are carefully constructed to effectively use disk caches and provide “nice” access patterns for common commands and for reading recently referenced objects.

You may have used git grep to search for some text in your Git project, just as you may have used git diff to view active changes. What do the two have in common? They both display some contents in your repository, and both have support to show the surrounding function context with -p (short for --show-function) or -W (short for --function-context), respectively.

This article is getting a few things about git wrong. They claim git only supports ‘One check-out per repository’. Heard of git worktree?

My unorthodox, branchless git workflow | Lobsters [[git]]

Git revise is especially useful for this commit stack workflow, as I call it. I’m a huge fan.

It’s a better rebase. So much better that it should be obligatory. You can split commits, batch rename them, and you don’t have to stash your work first.

he majority of answers to this question are outdated, incomplete, or unnecessarily complex.

A submodule cloned using git 1.7.8 or newer will leave at most four traces of itself in your local repo. The process for removing those four traces is given by the three commands below:

Git is a [[pull" title="[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_version_control | distributed version control system]]" class="wikilink">distributed version control system]]. It stores //whole objects//, not diffs, which is one of the key differences between Git and other version control systems of its time. This [[speeds up operations]] like checking out branches and processing commits in batch. //Distributed// means that while you can have a single source of truth, nothing will break when it goes down, because [[the whole object database is stored on users' machines]], and [[data integrity is easily verified]] (commits can also be signed using OpenPGP).

That is probably an inherent lazyness of me, for example I passionately hate git and pretty much like mercurial, because the first was created by a dozen hackers to themselves, and nobody really understands it, and nobody else can really use it to its full potentials, and all the documentation and help pages are obscure, complex and generally written from the perspective of someone already knowing the system and being pretty annoyed that have to explain it to anyone else; mercurial on th eother hand has an excellend handbook, good structured help system, easy to use commands which can be very complex if someone take the time and efforts to learn it. And both systems are basically the same, do the same, using the same principles. The difference is the attitude towards the people not yet being fluent in the system.

A platform like Github makes this different, in that it abstracts these tools into a web UI and expect all collaborators to have an account at the platform. The more I learn about ways of collaborating outside of a centralised service like that, the more I've come to dislike them. Decentralised collaboration is a lot more enjoyable and empowering.

Cleaning up the history might seem tedious at first for marginal cosmetic benefits, but it gets much easier and faster with practice. Here I am collecting some tips for cleaning up a git commit history before publishing it to others, for example in the form of a pull request.

Submodules are easier to push but harder to pull – This is because they are pointers to the original repository Subtrees are easier to pull but harder to push – This is because they are copies of the original repository

=> https://git-annex.branchable.com/

git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due to limitations in memory, time, or disk space.

git-annex is designed for git users who love the command line. For everyone else, the git-annex assistant turns git-annex into an easy to use folder synchroniser.
