Be a man.

‘git commit -am “changes”’

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 38 points 2 months ago

At this point just create a script or alias called "fuckthis" that does that and then push direct to main

[-] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 months ago

PR reviews take the most time, eliminating those saved us loads of time.

QA were also bogging us down, axed them too. Now we’re flying.

The Social Security Infrastructure rebuild should be done in a matter of weeks! At least that’s what Copilot says.

[-] Vittelius@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

That's how you get a Boing

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 2 months ago

I have auto save on. A cron job running every minute with just git add . && git commit - m "wip"

[-] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 12 points 2 months ago

&& git push --force

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 months ago

Have the name of the alias be "gti" or "gut"

[-] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
alias {gti,gut}='git commit -am "changes" && git push -f'
[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I have about a dozen aliases of various mistypings of "git". Somehow I still hit unaliased typo once in a while

[-] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago

And any project worth their salt will reject it for two reasons:

  1. Unclear message/changes (potentially too many changes at once)
  2. Not signed
[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

I’ve got signing auto enabled though

[-] JiminaMann@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Doesn't work for me idk why, it'll ignore the message, and i have to commit again before i can push

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

I like git add because then you can do git diff --staged

[-] davetapley@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Yes yes, combined with git add -P makes small, meaningful commits so much easier.

[-] davetapley@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Alas I sold my soul to VSCode a long time ago.

Also, ew, emacs 😝

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Oh come on, try it out! I know some people who use emacs only for magit. It really is that good.

A few of them slowly became full on emacs users...

... What's git merge look like?

... incident

[-] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

Real 10x vibe developers use https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/, no need to add or commit!

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago

So is easier to push direct to prod? Hell yeah!

[-] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

With jj you're always the prod whatever you do! Feel free to break that fucking CI.

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Gonna try it out non my next college project

[-] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You may or may not be joking, but jujutsu is the first true git alternative that I'm actively trying on small projects at work. The command-line is great, and I can still interact with other devs without breaking stuff.

Buuuuuuuut if you're a CS student, don't bother, it's weird and you should focus on git which is used everywhere. You can get free GUI clients like Sublime Merge or SmartGit to ease the pain. I've been hating git since the beginning, but it's the least worst SCM right now. Learn the command-line, but I have never done that since it's infuriating, and that's why I've been using GUIs since, holy shit, Wikipedia says 2005.

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Is just half a joke, i do like to try it out a lot of different things, be whatever it may be, so i'm totally finding a project to use this, and also i don't really like to use a GUI for git simce most of my workflow happens in a terminal, and even tho i do like how git works i am open to try something new and see if it's better for me or not

[-] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Try Mercurial too. Both projects started at the same time but git won. Mercurial is equivalent but its interesting.

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Sure, thanks for the recomendation

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago

grow up, use "git add -p" and craft perfect artisanal commits

[-] Comtief@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

i'm sure there are much better tools available, but i'm just used to git gui where rescan, commit and push all are in order.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Every bloody time, though this case the people not on the Ryanair flight may be the lucky ones. If only git was the most unnecessarily arcane thing devs have to/choose to work with.

[-] callmepk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago
[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

lazygit is pretty cool too.

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

Use Jujutsu jj and you won't have this problem

[-] thirteene@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I set this up for seamless commits:

function gao() {
     git add .
     git commit -a -m "$*"
     git push origin `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`
 }

Usage: gao fixing a typo

[-] anti_antidote@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Jujutsu time 😁
