Here's what I did: at work I needed something. (A git commit graph). But the one I found was #1. buggy, and #2. too expensive. It wasn't my money, but I just couldn't allow my company to pay that much. So I made my own, a

Interesting gh-pages approach! Yes, that make sense. An orphan branch is a nice way to bring in the disparate history of a separate repo that you've decided to merge into your main repo.

Fowler has probably received a letter from an Uber hired lawyer asking her to take down the blog and threatening to sue her for damages. Why else would she hire a lawyer? I see no other reason why she would hire a lawyer except to respond

IANAL. I'm just a random person who studied the book, "Open Source Licensing: Software Freedom and Intellectual Property Law," by Lawrence Rosen. The OP doesn't mention D.4 much. The first paragraph of D.4 seems fine to

Or in this case (since we're processing merges one at a time to make the calculation): git diff COMMIT^1...COMMIT^2 (aka, parent1...parent2). I find the three-dot diff notation very useful, but confusing, and always have to type &quot

This approach also helps with those orphan branches since it just calculates the diff caused by bringing the orphan branch into the mainline. Whereas OP's definition counts every line ever created on both sides (e.g., counts every line

by gsylvie 10y ago
I don't like OP's definition of divergence. I prefer to take the size of the diff along first-parent instead. Here's how I would do it: time git log -m --first-parent --shortstat --pretty="%H" --min-parents=2 |

git patch-id is not bad for this: Here are the four commits with "Fix roundoff problems in float8_timestamptz() and make_interval()" as their commit message: $ git log --pretty="%h - %d" --date-order --all --grep=flo

Because git log --graph implies "--topo-order" and I didn't want that: $ git help log --graph [...] This implies the --topo-order option by default Without "--date-order" it looks like this: $

Some armchair speculation: the price Gitlab and Atlassian would pay to have one link each up there would probably dwarf the current monthly hosting costs. Not sure if the "try.github.io" link should count as a link to Github, but
