I feel attacked. Jokes aside, what advice would you give to such developers? Asking for a friend.

- acemarke 4y agoI'm a _very_ big believer in maintaining an informative Git history. I have some suggestions for practical Git usage patterns in a blog post I wrote last year: https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2021/01/coding-career-git-usage/#git-patterns-and-best-practices https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2021/01/coding-career-git-... TL/DR for that section: - Write Good Commit Messages - Make Small, Focused Commits - Clean Up Commit History Before Pushing - Only Rewrite Unpushed History - Keep Feature Branches Short-Lived followed by some thoughts on "Git Archeology" as a useful concept.
- postingposts 4y agoIf you see Git as a dumb sharing tool you are correct. It’s also correct to see it as a Global Information Tracker (git) whereby you are able to share the functional state of a program. Let’s say you make a commit of a program and tag it with a version, and also leave a message to yourself which explains what that commit or version accomplishes. By doing so, you’re going beyond “saving the text” and into “saving the state” which is valuable!
