Removed double quotes, added single quotes

iAvicenna@lemmy.world · 35 pts · 2y (7 replies)

QuazarOmega@lemy.lol · 19 pts · 2y (6 replies)

More commits == More money!!!

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Real talk: I have worked at a company where an exec briefly had the bright idea to rank developers on number of commits made.

You can imagine how that turned out.

He wasn’t an exec for very long.

QuazarOmega@lemy.lol · 3 pts · 2y (4 replies)

lmaoo, I can't believe someone actually did that and was serious about it.
I'm already imagining commits piling up with comments like:

"add a newline"
"move function up"
"rename variable users to user_list"
"Revert previous commit"
"no John, it's user_list and that's it, don't you dare change it again"

He wasn’t an exec for very long.

Good riddance I guess

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Oh, no, we can do better.

Every single line of every single PR is an individual commit. And never squash-commit.

QuazarOmega@lemy.lol · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Talk about atomic commits

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y

If you really want to nuke it from orbit: do it for every character.

It is absolutely technically feasible to go further than that, but I think that’s the point of diminishing returns in terms of effort.

muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (7 replies)

Why do u prefer single quotes?

grrgyle@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Not Shall330, but double quotes can imply variables in the string in some languages.

muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Which languages are these?

bitchkat@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (3 replies)

PHP for one. "$x" will interpret the variable $x. '$x' does not.

muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Well there's ya problem ur using php.

charolastra@programming.dev · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Also bash

nyan@lemmy.cafe · 2 pts · 2y

And Perl.

Schal330@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I have no preference! It was to do with Spring/yaml config and some really strange conflict which required the use of single quotes. I'm still a total noob in the world of software dev, so I wouldn't be able to explain why it worked 🤣

"Update"

It was my dotfiles, ok?

Anticorp@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

You're going to regret not adding the second sentence to the commit message some day.

grrgyle@slrpnk.net · 6 pts · 2y

Bold of you to assume there is a cohesive theme to dotfile commits. Usually it's just been long enough that I don't want to lose my latest tweaks

steersman2484@sh.itjust.works · 33 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Squash me later

Assman@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 2y (3 replies)

My commit messages have gotten extremely lazy since I start squashing all my commits down to one. I just describe the PR on the first commit message and write nonsense in all the others.

grrgyle@slrpnk.net · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I've been adding the commit shas + messages to the final description, if anyone wants to see my exploratory work.

xmunk@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I know that if you are on the local repository where the commits were originally created they'll remain accessible through recovery methods but AFAIK orphaned commits aren't synced to other machines.

grrgyle@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 2y

That's correct. This is for work, which uses GitHub. The dangling commits remain accessible via their sha through the web ui, so I can link them in the PR description. I don't put them in the actual commit message.

I think these are garbage collected eventually, but no idea on cadence. It's long, anyway.

Update coffee list and tex files.

...and yes we have our office coffee list in a git repo.

herrcaptain@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Do new hires have to submit a pull request to get in on it? If so, I'm guessing the non-technical staff don't get to drink a lot of coffee.

ving_thor@lemmy.one · 3 pts · 2y (4 replies)

It's actually just a paper list where people make ticks for coffee. That is then manually synced to an hledger file in git.

Serinus@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Whatever works for you, but I love writing a quality commit message. It's like my reward for doing all that work - wrapping up the changes in a nice little summary.

Sometimes I just scroll through my commits when I'm feeling blue...

TRBoom@lemm.ee · 8 pts · 2y (2 replies)

hoho

I had just figured out how to fix a bug that broke our in house reminder system. My smug ass put hoho as the commit message for figuring something out that the previous guy couldn't. Of course it came back to bite me in the ass THIS WEEK when the system broke again in a similar fashion, but I couldn't remember what I had done.

I wonder what my last commit at each job was. I'll bet it was boring. About 10% of my commit messages are genuinely interesting.

AA5B@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (4 replies)

For some definition of interesting …. The quashed commit whose message is a Jira ticket number and title?

victorz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (3 replies)

This is what I hate about squashing. I love the fact that my crazy journey to a finished feature is there in the log for everyone to see, including myself lol. But squashing makes me feel empty when I write commit messages. Where's the fun... Just a straight line of perfectionism. Maybe someone has a crazy but cool idea that would be worth picking. 🍒

AA5B@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Maybe. I do more DevOps these days, so tend to have many small changes that can’t even be tested without checking them in and running in CI. I’d have hundreds of “fix unit tests” commits alone

victorz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I've been thinking about that when talking to my DevOps colleagues, that there's gotta be a better way to test CI before committing. The whole change-commit-test dance would kill me if on a daily basis. So cumbersome.

nik9000@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y

We squash. I'm not really interesting in your local journey to land the change. It's sometimes useful during review, but after that it's mostly the state of the main branch I care about. It's what I need to bisect anyway.

I don't like commits that are just references to issues. Copy the issue into the commit message so git blame tells you something useful. Unless it's just closing a simple big. Then the title and issue reference are plenty.

Depends on the project I imagine.

I think long messages are a good habit. Start with something readable in the history, past that who cares? Most people rarely read past the preview, and if they do they want details

I think it's great because it makes you reflect on what the goal was and what you did. I sometimes stop to make a quick change as I'm writing, or just collect my thoughts before mentally dismissing the task
