#versioncontrol

I'm finally moving over to Radicle (https://radicle.xyz) instead of switching to another centralized code forge (like GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, etc.). I definitely love the idea behind a #P2P code forge and I'm hopeful for Radicle's future, but I do have some reservations starting off:

1) Despite talking a lot about freedom and privacy in the tutorial, the group building Radicle (https://radworks.org/) is planning to sell hosting and make a profit via an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency (https://www.tally.xyz/gov/radworks) as well as NFTs and smart contracts. Some big Libertarian red flags there.

2) At some point there was a Swiss nonprofit "Radicle Foundation", but this now seems to be a for-profit venture (see https://radicle.xyz/history). I wish it could just be a nonprofit.

3) In the user guide chapter on private repos (https://radicle.xyz/guides/user), it says that I need to use a public DNS address trusted seed node to share the repo. I understand there's no DHT here, but I hope it's not too much of a pain to run this over my local network instead of the internet. (And yeah, I know I can use git locally, I just want to test Radicle locally.)

Overall, I think that if radworks turns out to be evil it will be a way easier transition to fork Radicle than it has been to leave GitHub, but I still wish I didn't have to worry.

#VCS #VersionControl #Tutorial #jj #SourceControl

Today's been one of those days where I wish we were using anything other than #perforce for version control. This thing is broken beyond belief. Working on several changelists? Sure, but don't create new files, shelving them and reverting the changelist doesn't remove the newly added file from the filesystem. Which breaks #ceedling's automatic test discovery. The work around is to rename the test_* file with some other prefix manually. It sucks.

Weird Workplace Stories 10: The Version Control Nightmare

A real-life tale of software chaos in the 1980s, with floppy disks, BASIC programming, and version control that involved guessing which disk contained the latest files.

jj (aka jujutsu), the git-compatible version control system, just released version 0.27.0.

The package for ⁨@opensuse⁩ was adapted, tested and worked out fine. Will soon be available in #Tumbleweed!

For starters, I can highly recommend Steve Klabnik's tutorial:

I have now installed and tested Authentik for CoreUnit.NET. So far I am satisfied. Keycloak, dex and other IDP's made me dissatisfied in some steps. As a developer I just dont like the container image taging, please use semver so I can pin major/minor versions.

I have to use Git but I am not able to remember the terms from one use to the next.

I don't want to use the command line.

I want to use it in windows.

I am using github.com

Is there a better programme than Git Gui *for me* (see above)? I don't know what I'm doing half of the time.

Fun fact: I am using it for a library called CompGIT but my GIT stands for Geometric Invariant Theory.
