#TIL that #git has an `--end-of-options` option because they used `--` for something else in `git checkout`. 🤦

BFG Repo-Cleaner is a simpler, faster alternative to git-filter-branch for removing large files, passwords and other private data from Git history: #git

The #git history command deserves more attention

Is there an option hidden somewhere in git log / ref-log / mailmap which would support colorizing output lines differently depending on whether a author/committer matches some pattern (eg Mine vs Another Maintainer vs Unknown Contributor)?
I know I could post-process the output of git log or use other plumbing tools, but I'd rather not if something is built-in.
#git #askfedi #devlog

For a long time, I diligently put my course materials into #git, but I found that it has little, if any, benefits for my use case, most notably, working alone.
But I’m now in the lucky position that others will teach my courses for the next academic year (#sabbatical, yay!)—now it does make sense to use version control!

Zero days since I messed up rebase by using `#git commit --amend` and missing that I was suppose to just `git commit` because it stopped on a merge conflict rather than my "edit".

Did my first interactive rebase today. #git

Periodic git-extra-commands announcement
#git helper scripts and other git-related resources I've accumulated over the years.
You don't need a ZSH framework to use it - the framework code just adds the repo's bin directory to your PATH automatically.
#git #homelab #selfhosting #sre #devops #swe

We had an intermittent storage issue. This problem has now been resolved.
#opencommit #git #opensource

Why is .config/ in git repositories not a thing? As an XDG_CONFIG equivalent to move .vscode, .zed, .forgejo away from the repository root, that would be pretty nice.
#git #forgejo #gitea

what if my #git host were a static site generator?
#SSG

Cool! These should all be green; somehow, the least expected OS to work passed the test, while the top and medium expected OS didn't. Fun!
