You cannot recover your unstaged changes if you happen to toast them with "git checkout --".

For me the UX issue was that I came from "svn" and "svn checkout" is a VERY different command. Obviously this is not git's fault. I suspect git is much easier to learn for those untainted by svn. As for "git

I want multi-wildcard-certs (using subject alternative names aka SAN). Also, if I get a cert that covers: [*.a.company.com] and [*.b.company.com] Can I please also have [a.company.com] and [b.company.com] stuffed into two addition

Yeah, and frankly the deal doesn't really look that reassuring to me. HCG had already negotiated a 9.5% loan on the $2 billion CDN (around $1.5 billion USD). Buffett is letting them refinance that loan down to 9% and he's buying

What's your add-on? It took me almost 12 months of working on mine (probably 500-600 hours) before it started to make money.

If you're in tech, you've probably used an Atlassian product (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket). Make an Atlassian add-on! It's been a (mostly) solo gig for me so far. Two months ago my own add-on happened to do $8K in sale

Same in Canada. But by "basic" it really is basic. No online banking, no chequing. In-branch transactions with a teller only!

Sorry for the weird format. I grabbed it from here: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/software/1998/parnas-19981208... I then ran it through "uncompress" and "ps2pdf" and then finally "

Even if better training or better documentation is available, how do you get the driver of the tractor to benefit from it? The solution is better tractors. Don't blame the user.

Reminds me of the problem of fatal tractor rollovers on farms. Should we fix the problem with better documentation, better training, or better tractors? http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S09257

Any part of Bamboo, JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket, or Hipchat driving you insane? That's how I started. (I don't think Sourcetree takes add-ons, and Crucible/Fisheye are pretty much dead.)

0.003% of those revenues came from my own add-on (for Bitbucket Server). :-D :-D :-D Any other marketplace.atlassian.com vendors here on HN? Anyone thinking of trying it out?

Looks like it showed up with commit b814da891e, and has been around since Git v2.0.0. The online docs mention it in Git v2.1.0: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config/2.1.0

p.s. If you set this config, and a fast-forward pull is not possible, here is what git does: $ git pull fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.

This has saved me: git config --global pull.ff only I can always override an individual pull invocation with either "git pull --rebase" or "git pull --no-ff", making it a conscious choice when a fast-forward pu

I've set 25-user at $112 and 50-user at $225 for a specific reason. Atlassian pays us add-on vendors monthly, but only once we've done $666.67 in sales since the previous remittance. Atlassian dictates the maintenance renewal pri

Yes, software tooling is not a huge market compared to say, JIRA. My add-on is 287th place for sales in the last 30 days ($2800). Most of the add-ons ahead of me are for JIRA or Confluence: https://marketplace.atlassian.com&#x
