I was using my usual stacked PR approach without the CLI and it detected the stack. So I think the CLI just does the heavy lifting for you (although I prefer to stick to vanilla gi…

I use the colon as EDITOR with Git when I want to do an interactive rebase combined with auto squash without having to edit the todo list. I have an alias[1] for that which I call …

This is what has been frustrating me most lately. Even though I have a rule in my global CLAUDE.md that says: > Only write comments to explain the why when it is not obvious from t…

At that point you might as well use a worktree[1]. [1]: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree

These pages do look good. But they all just look the same. And I'm getting bored of them. I open such a page and I immediately know it was Claude that produced it (probably end-to-…

I wonder the same. The answer I usually get from people who do manage is that they don't look at the code – or at least not in detail. Personally, I always end up tweaking somethin…

It features the current date and time with seconds, so it must be rendered on the fly.

Sure, that's possible. I can also use the GitHub app and use a Git abstraction where I don't have to understand Git at all. The point is that I want to use Git, a tool and skill th…

My git config for pushing is set to push.default=current. For rebased stacks I have an alias that does this: git --config push.default=matching push --force-with-lease --force-if-i…

I've been doing stacked PRs for ~2 years now. Thus, I don't quite see the need for this CLI. Git has had some additions in the last few years that make this work natively – specifi…

I have a global setting for that. Whenever I work in a repo that deviates from that I override it locally. I have a few other aliases that rely on the default branch, such as “swit…

Here's my take on the one-liner that I use via a `git tidy` alias[1]. A few points: * It ensures the default branch is not deleted (main, master) * It does not touch the current br…

I'm of the opinion that Git hooks are personal. That's why they're not part of the source code itself. I make extensive use of hooks, but they're tailored to my needs. Note that yo…

In addition to making the link look shady, it adds considerable lag to opening the link. I'm using Finicky[1] on Mac to rewrite the URL by extracting the original URL from the quer…

Not wrong, but one thing I did not spot in all the great explanations related to HEAD is that @ is an alias for HEAD that is a lot easier to type.

I am definitely more in the changelog-as-a-file camp. From https://keepachangelog.com/ : > Using commit log diffs as changelogs is a bad idea: they're full of noise. Things like me…

https://phili.pe Did hit the front page a few times with some of my posts: - http://phili.pe/posts/postgresql-on-the-command-line/ - 4th on https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2…

If you never use those apps, you can also remove the executable flag with `chmod -x` and they won’t open anymore.

The merge commit also includes the link to the PR when merged via the GitHub UI (or locally via `hub merge $PR_URL`).
