Be a man.

‘git commit -am “changes”’

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 37 points 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

That's how you get a Boing

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 week 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 11 points 1 week ago

&& git push --force

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

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

[-] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
alias {gti,gut}='git commit -am "changes" && git push -f'
[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

I’ve got signing auto enabled though

[-] JiminaMann@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

[-] davetapley@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

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

[-] davetapley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

Also, ew, emacs 😝

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

[-] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

Gonna try it out non my next college project

[-] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

Sure, thanks for the recomendation

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Comtief@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week 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 1 week 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.

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

lazygit is pretty cool too.

[-] callmepk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago
[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

Use Jujutsu jj and you won't have this problem

[-] thirteene@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

Jujutsu time 😁
