I don't know... I just know. Is it that hard? I'm always pushing to remote and triggering CI and I rarely break the build.

Doesn't git reset do what you want? For example git reset <remote>/<branchname> would usually do it for me, but you could just as easily do it to any other commit.

Magit, for emacs, makes this workflow a joy. The "instant fixup/squash" features are great.

Absolutely. Every single day. Only the most trivial changes result in commiting everything in my working tree.

I think many people (eg the "never rewrite history" crowd) don't understand what history is useful for. Ask yourself now: once a branch is merged into master, why do we even keep the history of master? The answer is simple: t

It's interesting how people always talk about staging individual files. Did you know git supports staging individual lines ? This is way more powerful and allows you to begin commiting sooner on any code base.

I often make many changes at once and then begin to commit pieces of it incrementally as I go. Each commit should represent a perfectly valid version of the code base, but your working directory rarely represents a valid version during deve

I think the type of stackoverflow question your parent post is talking about is indicative of someone who isn't actually exploring but is just trying to get paid to do something they don't understand. I've got all the time in

Yeah, I'm so glad it has support on gitlab and github. It's a far superior format compared to markdown and does most of what RST can do as well. I would prefer it to markdown even if I didn't use emacs.

Completely agree (with you and Linus). I keep seeing these special programmes to try to get certain groups of people into programming. But the computers are right there. If they were interested they would have done it already. I wish people

In emacs (where I do 100% of my work), I press a single key combination, make the note, then go right back to work.

Reading these comments reaffirms my position that I've had for years: I only trust plain text. For this reason alone org-mode is the only note taking system worth using. But it's also good for other reasons. You should try it.

Public domain isn't a licence. It means the work was authored by the US government or the copyright has expired. In either case the work is no longer subject to copyright at all.

Me too. It seems like every other week people will be spouting some three-letter acronym that you've never heard of. This forces you to ask what it means, and they will always look at you like "what? You don't even know?"

That's not a PHP thing, it's a CGI thing. You can use any scripting language to do it. Perl was popular but you could use Python or even bash.

The last good one they made was the Z3 Compact. But it had an unfortunate flaw which caused the screen to peel off. That forced me to "upgrade" to the X Compact which is awful in so many ways compared to the Z3. They really screwe

Just your standard human greed and selfishness. We're all trying to get more at the expense of other people. It's how we evolved.

I've wanted this to be a thing for about 20 years! Back then I didn't understand how it could be so difficult. Well, I guess I still don't. But I'm glad it's finally happening in my lifetime.

I learnt to program for the Web in the late 90s. I used perl and later php. I stopped in the early 00s because I found supporting IE6 was soul destroying. Much more recently I got into it again and saw things like Rails and Django and was a

Or, rather, the dictionary shows that it has been used incorrectly for at least a few years. Knowing what the ending -oid means clearly shows the usage wasn't correct. "I could care less" is also "correct" according

Capital is important because it represents work that has already been done. What's always disheartening, though, is that capital is always raised from private investors and they then use the stock market to cash out. The stock market w
