Please excuse me as I'll be a tad fussy. You're welcome to pay me back in my own coin with my approximative English. The right expression is la porte arrière (not "en arrière"), which usually means the back door of a

When I was 15 years old, I coded a Game of Life (with TurboPascal) and spent days playing with it, not only by activating cells, but also changing the automaton rules. Eight years later, during my PhD, I had to pack discs on Riemannian mani

It's okay if you really prefer to read a huge squashed commit instead of an atomic commit in a branch, but you made it sound like squashing was necessary in order to reduce building and testing. That's wrong. You can use `git bise
