#Git's Magic Files

Toda hora que eu quero fazer um "git push" o #gitHub agora pede um token enorme e impossível de decorar, ao invés da minha senha. Imagino que tenha como fazer o #git memorizar este token na minha mšquina, mas que chatice descobrir como que faz. Por agora, eu nem vou perder tempo com isso.…

I know git doesn't track renames. I know it constructs them from adds and deletes. I know my repo has lots of similar (not identical!) boilerplate files ... I still renamed a bunch of directories and was surprised that merging this change into existing feature branches produced phantom changes that existed on neither branch!!
Here's the blog post: https://lornajane.net/posts/2026/git-renames-are-not-renames

I think that if you care about long term human maintainability of software, you should be optimistic (at least cautiously) for AI tools for translating, eg, COBOL to other languages.
The decline in the adoption of languages is as real a threat to long-term maintainability as the AI slop-pocalyse people are worrying about.
We've spent decades creating layers upon layers of abstraction to the point where no-one knows how computers work. Telling developers to "Git Gud"…

Wrote a new blog post - this one's about setting up git-generator #ArgoCD ApplicationSets.
#homelab

Here's a #PixelFed update #git issue I didn't expect: installed on an rpi5, the git was cloned to the sdcard, but after installation I had to move /storage to a USB drive and so symlinked the path. I also had to modify database.php to use pgsql.
Now, when I attempt a pull, I'm told to stash my changes, but stash throws an error because composer.lock was changed and /storage/app/.gitignore is now a symlink.
error: 'storage/app/.gitignore' is beyond a symbolic link
fatal: Unable to process path storage/app/.gitignore
Whatever this stash test is, it doesn't obey root .gitignore, and I did a git rm --cached on that file which shouldn't be IN the repo anyway, and wasn't. Google and DDG refuse to understand that this isn't about adding filenames to .gitignore and git itself has no obvious override.
So I'm stuck 😞

Oh well, our upcoming client doesn't provide cc files for each shot. Instead, we need to extract the grading values from an EDL file. Fortunately I've already written a script to do that a few years ago for another show.
The time to write a script might be more than what it takes to do the task manually (here it would be copying values from a text file to an xml file). But it pays off if you have to repeat the task. Even if that is 7 years later.

Here's the thing (wrt chardet).
The "clean room" statement is weakened by putting the new "independent" code in the same git repo/tree. I do think that this does imply a level of dependency/relationship that goes beyond pattern matching strings.

Did you clone a large amount of git repos? Is ~/workspace/ a giant mess? Need to declutter?
If a remote exists and all branches have been pushed (or merged), and you trust the git host to stay up, maybe we don't need to keep the local copy.
Or if there's local branch refs for commits that have never been pushed, maybe they should be.

Git has not blown my mind on this scale in many years. What a way to do Friday.
What I didn't internalise before I radically restructured this monorepo is that it has some boilerplate documentation with small but crucial changed placeholders in each project. The rename detection is scattering the files around like confetti on every operation.

services.radicale.git.enable=true now makes nicer commit messages, for events and contacts it will list the name and even describe renames. Proof of concept, written in bash/awk. It'll be hard to write a diff-parser that covers all kinds of changes, I guess having a local LLM could do it, but it'd slow down radicale significantly.
