- Scarbutt 6y agoAnd Golang is killing it for these kind of applications.
- narwally 6y agoI haven't done much beyond dip my toes in Golang so far, but I did start moving my blog over from Jekyll to Hugo last week; Man do I love just being able to install a single binary and then get to work. Python, Javascript, and Ruby have a lot of nice packages, but I always have to futz around with the language itself to use them effectively. It's probably a bit easier to get a project up and running in a scripting language, but any development time that is saved just gets passed on to the users as we have to install a ton of npm packages or try to fix our gem dependencies.
- rhizome 6y agoAre dependency problems with Hugo modules not possible?
- narwally 6y agoI'm sure there are, but I haven't needed to use any modules so far, so I have no perspective on what kind of challenges they present. But with Jekyll you could get into dependency issues just trying to go through the tutorial and launch a blank template of a site. You didn't need any extra functionality on top of Jekyll to begin to dealing with dependencies.
- maxioatic 6y agoI was wondering if this was written in Go, and specifically using the Cobra framework. I checked out the repo and it was! Other common CLIs written with the same framework: kubectl, hugo, rclone (to name a few) Really is a great option.
- boogies 6y agoNever heard of Azure Repos before. Do they have any unique features that could be merged into Github?
- jgillette 6y agoI believe that Actions was a port from Azure DevOps (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/devops/?nav=min https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/devops/?nav=min) so it does seem the teams are working together to improve the products.
- dkarlovi 6y agoIIRC it was Azure pipelines.
- DavidKarlas 6y agoWhen reviewing PR, it has nice file/folder tree on left side, which is far superior compared to scrolling over 10+ files without context on Github, I hope Github gets this soon...
- bbatha 6y agoThere's a browser plugin called Octotree which does a pretty good job of this, but I'd prefer it to be builtin.
- gurrone 6y agoBitbucket has it as well. When you move from Bitbucket to Github your PR workflow in the WebUI feels utterly complicated and way harder to review. I already started to use gh a few month ago and that finally puts some sanity into working with github. Beside of creating PRs and merging them you can also get the diff of the PR, and pipe it to other tools. In the most simplistic case into diffstat. That finally compensates a bit for the horrible WebUI experience. Still a tree view would be nice.
- moron4hire 6y agoI like that it works with Active Directory, so I don't need my developers to setup their own GitHub accounts to work.
- cptskippy 6y agoWe did some training with Microsoft last fall and the coordinator straight up told us that DevOps functionality was being duplicated in Github and that DevOps was being sunset eventually. He recommended using YAML for all Pipeline Development as they were trying very hard to ensure that it would be compatible but legacy pipelines would not.
- alkonaut 6y agoAzure Repos and maybe Pipelines be sunset and replaced by GiHub equivalents, but they’d have a hard time sunsetting the task management (Boards) without first significantly expanding it in Github. Many swear by their hierarchical backlogs, custom column Kanban boards and complex reporting. GitHub issues is extremely simple in comparison.
