Imma be honest I pulled that estimate out of my ass lol, but I feel like it was pre-pandemic? which would put it at at least 4 years ago and so holy shit I’m gonna go cry in a corner because it’s been 4 years since the start of the pandemic
Isn’t this only the case in github? All my repos are based from master, and I would assume that’s because I init on the command line and push up to the remote?
GitLab also changed a few years back. We host our own, so got the update later than people using the service … it was a bit of an argument at first since everyone wanted to stick with the familiar, but laziness won out. Unfortunately, it’s not really justifiable to go back and change legacy projects, so now it’s inconsistent
If you don’t have any scripts that rely on branch name it should be pretty trivial actually. But I wouldn’t be shocked if you had a few dozen scripts that nobody has looked at in the last century lol
The question actually came up for a new tool to help automate dependency updates. Do we need to change the config to account for the inconsistency?
It turns out we don’t: it correctly uses the default branch, no matter what it’s called. However we had to consider the question. and investigate. It spent someone’s time
It works fine for small projects. I think that with more than 2-3 devs a PR based strategy works better for enforcing review and just makes life easier in general, since you end up with less stuff like force pushes to fix minor things like whitespace errors that break everyone’s local.
With automated CI, I’ve had very few times where bisect is useful. Either the bug was introduced 1-2 commits ago, or it’s always been there and the exact commit is irrelevant to the solution, since you just fix it forward.
programming.dev will migrate over to (lemmy compatible) Sublinks once it’s ready, which will feature a different set of mod features. For that reason we will need new moderators to have an active programming.dev account. If you’re willing keep an active user account on our instance let me know. We would prefer people we know will actively use their mod account to make sure reports are handled in a timely manner.
I’d volunteer, but can’t rightly say I’d keep an active programming.dev account. Sadly none of the clients I use would alert me to new things on it, so I’d likely forget to check.
Rereading it, I now understand what you meant. I interpreted the “like regex” as an example of advanced git knowledge. I’m not sure the comma helps make it unambiguous though.
Yeah, reading it again and I can see that interpretation…
This is why you shouldn’t rely on yourself alone for proofreading your writing, I probably could have read that a hundred times and not seen another way to read it without someone else pointing it out
