And now the pain begins. If you know, you know... 😑
As a chance for myself to find this again: when installing an #npm package from a git URL, the following happens **if the package.json has a "prepare"**.
- clone into some tmp repo, found it beyond ~/.npm
- install dev and prod dependencies into that repo
- run prepare script in that repo
- package in that repo (did not see postpack run)
- install the assumedly generated tgz
Search for: "If the package being installed contains a prepare script," at

Has anybody invented a #git friendly, user friendly #database yet? Something that runs locally, no client-server architecture.
I'm thinking of a folder full of CSV files where each represents a table, so all the raw data is in plaintext, it can be edited with LibreOffice Calc, but at some point it can all be imported into a SQLite database for consistency checks and cross references, maybe in a git precommit hook.
I could stitch this together myself but I'm hoping someone else has saved me the effort!

I think I got pull covered for now

I wrote up a blog post on various strategies for naming Git branches in light of the push to move away from `master`: https://kechpaja.com/blog/2026/04/15-naming-git-branches.html.
Remember to donate to Codeberg! They are one of the only viable alternatives to GitHub right now and they're EU based!
Just realized that I love the `git stash --patch` option. Really handy in case you need a selective stashing ![]()

Magit is what has kept me sane using git all these years.
Interactive rebases, squashes, fix ups, hunk selection were comfy and fluent; experience is polished.
Also, Magit created a whole new cluster of UI interfaces. Transient is a thing!
Can't underestimate how much important @tarsius work is.
Thank you man!
