Is it weird that I feel completely comfortable with #git ?
I noticed that most of the folks #programming I run into are ill at ease when they interact with their repo.
The resources available tend to either
explain how (all of) git works.
Or
provide a few stanzas of incantations to accompany the ritual sacrifice.
I wonder if there's an audience for a "git therapist"?
"Do you think your struggles with merge conflicts may be rooted in early experience with svn ?...."
#Git essentially has solved the distributed software development problem (at least the technical parts).
However, it has always bothered me that there is no generalization to distributed feedback in the form of issues and merge requests.
Several years ago, we've been playing with design ideas to have the issues also in git, but did like neither the models available then nor our own ideas. Finally a path forward! https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247
A surprisingly common mistake people do when contributing to #OpenSource projects is to forget the (often required) sign-off on their commit, and then close the PR only to open a new one where the sign-off is included. This isn’t needed! Next time, just:
git commit --amend --signoff
git push --force
And your signoff will be added to the commit in your PR.
