Am I the only one who does "tar cfz gitproj_backup.tgz gitproject/" before
$ git checkout main
$ git merge
?
When will #Mastodon leave the AI platform Microsoft Github™ and move their code to a free and federated git site?

🌘 git-annex:用 Git 管理大型檔案的解決方案
➤ 擁抱 Git 的威力,釋放您的大型檔案
✤ https://git-annex.branchable.com/
git-annex 是一套創新的工具,讓使用者能夠在不將檔案內容直接存入 Git 版本庫的情況下,管理大量的檔案。它藉由 Git 的分散式特性,為檔案的同步、備份及歸檔提供便利,同時確保資料的安全與完整性。git-annex 透過檢查碼與加密技術保護資料,並允許使用者將大型檔案的儲存與 Git 版本庫分開,特別適合習慣命令列操作的 Git 使用者,或透過其助理介面,讓一般使用者也能輕鬆同步檔案夾。
+ 這是個改變遊戲規則的工具!終於可以把我的影片庫和專案資產檔也納入 Git 的管理範圍了。
+ 我原本以為管理大量離線儲存裝置是一場惡夢,但 git-annex 讓一切變得簡單無比,而且還能追蹤每個檔案在哪裡。

Ah, behold the marvel that is "git-annex," a tool so niche that even die-hard command-line aficionados might pause 🤔. For those who worship at the altar of git and dream of syncing large files while caressing checksums and encryption as if they were long-lost lovers, rejoice! 😆 But fear not, mere mortals: there's an assistant to dumb it down into a glorified folder sync tool. 🗂️✨

```
!/bin/sh
git stash --keep-index --include-untracked
go test ./...
```
To my `.git/hooks/pre-commit`.
No more commit that break the test or even the build. It should make `git bisect` more useful.
I should have done that WAY SOONER. Somehow, I never stumbled upon it…
Oh yeah, and if you don't know about #git #trailers yet (the like `Co-Authored-By` and similar at the end of a commit), you can write your own and query for them easily:
```
git log --format='%aI %(trailers:key=Total-Word-Count)'
```
This will get the ISO 8061 time format and the `Total-Word-Count` trailer for each commit and print it out. #grep can then filter it for you.
I configured a #git hook that takes the wordcount from my #typst file every time I commit to my #thesis repository, so I can keep an eye on my progress.
I've been using a small #gnuplot script to plot my progress over time, along with my target (red), a fit, and a fit to the last 15 commits. The 19th of Sep (2nd red line) is my submission deadline, and end of Aug (1st red line) marks where I plan to stop writing and start reviewing.

Dear Fediverse,
what would be the easiest way for a person not using or knowing git to maintain a small repository of markdown files? What is the smoothest, least technical way in your opinion?
I am tasked with preparing a blog for someone not accustomed to Git. My idea was to make the "commit and push" as easy as possible and have most of the things handled by a CI pipeline (aka building the actual HTML via a static site generator such as Hugo, Zola or similar.
Use a text editor to create the files and then "commit and push" them using some kind of Git UI? Does not need to have fancy features like rebase or diffs, just a beginner-friendly UI.
Any ideas?
