#git

I managed to sign a whole bunch of commits with the wrong id, and I wanted to preserve the commit and author date

these two commands do the same and sign each commit with the id specified in the local .git/config or the global ~one

git rebase -i --root --committer-date-is-author-date --exec 'GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=$(git log -1 --format=%cd) GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=$(git log -1 --format=%ad) git commit --amend --no-edit --reset-author -S'

or

git rebase -i --root --committer-date-is-author-date --exec 'GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=$(git log -1 --format=%cd) git commit --amend --date="$(git log -1 --format=%ad)" --no-edit --reset-author -S'

the rebase flag --committer-date-is-author-date works in tandem with the environment variables in the exec commit

if i only rebase one commit a time eg. HEAD~1, then I can omit the --committer-date-is-author-date

Some info parsed from the bastille git repository.

- 120 contributors

what's the best #git command that *doesn't* exist?

#git nerds:
I want to store a file with metadata about the files I'm working on, BUT I want it to be invisible.

I'm thinking of using a post-commit hook that stores/updates/whatever this metadata file in a different - specially named - branch behind the scenes (without affecting the working directory).

BUT Something's telling me there's a better solution that I've forgotten. This feels clunky.

Any ideas?

How long do you keep a Git branch around after you merge it?

I have a habit of deleting the branch immediately after merging, but I've had to use the reflog to recover updates a few times over the last few years. I'm wondering if I should keep branches around a little longer before deleting.

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"

I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.

The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.

If you have questions, please do ask!

I'm looking for "alpha testers" for an alternative forge ( based on #Forgejo )

https://forge.cloudsling.dev/

Public registration is closed (for now), but we can create accounts if anyone wants one, or open registrations temporarily.

It will remain free for #floss projects, likely paid for private projects (although we are providing the service for free for a while, until we do an official launch).

Once/If we start having paid customers, we'll donate part of that income to the upstream Forgejo project.

This forge is 100% hosted in #Europe, and operated & maintained by a very small workers-owned #coop .

P.S.: Yep, we know about the great Codeberg :) .

I've been doing a lot of micro-checkpoint commits which I later squash recently. Like, sometimes 10 small commits for a feature, all of them half-broken and messed-up, but as a major project-level checkpoint. Reviewing the diffs as I move along really helps me understand what's going on, and I then squash all these into a single clean commit before pushing.
