commit history, not a commit fairy tale

I'll remember that! Makes sense.

wait what

could this be why I've failed to understand this topic on several occasions? I don't remember anything about push timing.

before you push what specifically?

And what if you accidentally push too soon?

I was trying to learn this again last week. I just play around with this stuff for fun.

If I want to consolidate all the commits into a a single message (to create a changelog sort of), which kind of merge do I use?

Another question: I'm torn between wanting to keep a complete history of my work, for my own benefit, and not wanting anyone to see how messy and crappy everything is. I've been trying to work in one branch then merge only when a task is "complete". But it's a bit confusing for me especially if I leave a project for a while then come back to it. Especially especially if submodules are involved. Is there some sort of convention about how to do this? Or am I thinking about it wrong?

what would you do with a male-male cord?

It doesn't matter if no one ends up with the same configuration. No one ends up with the same configurations on KDE or Gnome either. Having a reasonable starting place is courteous and doesn't diminish the experience for those who wish to delete it immediately.

But I guess it does serve some emotional needs for their communities. So I'm glad it's there for those who need it.

I'm not sure if that is working properly on my system. It opens a dialogue box that just has content "" with cancel/ok buttons .

I tried populating a file tab.txt with a few lines because I am not sure if my results from the first part are what's expected, which is 1 line. No matter what the content the best I can do is get the first line to show in the dialogue but not in an interactive way.

Tbh having a bit of a hard time following what's going on with 2>&1 tee. But I am not sure how it could be the right thing as I don't see more than input?

What I want is to open a dialogue like this:

yad --title "Create a file" --form --field="File name" --field="Content

where the user's input gets directed to some sort of structure. Like an argument As though you had a terminal script with the syntax scriptname --filename="file.txt" --content="red green blue".

If you leave some of the field blank will it be able to skip assigning the respective variable? That's one problem with the positional values.

It is the only solution I found. I described it in the post but put it behind a "spoiler" "What doesn't work" to make the post shorter.

This seems unmanageable because adding a new field or failing to provide input for a field will both change the output order of every subsequent value. It's way too fragile.

I do not understand the mystique of applications that don't come with a reasonable working config. I don't want to invest hours just to try something and see if it is vaguely suitable. Anyone who wants to delete the default config can easily do so.

I guess people get pulled with sunk costs because by the time you get it working you've spent so much time on it.

Codeberg us really new, i think like 2 years. Since covid for sure.

Am not a gamer. But i made a sort of platform for my laptop to sit on to keep it being flush on a surface esp like couch or bed where no air goes in. I found a coated metal wire thingamagig thats the right size, and used zip ties to add stoppers so it doesn't slide off. Im sure you can buy something like this instead of make it out of garbage like i did.

Anyways one of the really useful side benefits is that i can clip the power cord to the platform so that there is no tension on the connectors. My power outlets sometimes in the opposite direction from the connector and if i dont use the platform thing it is always pulling.

I don't have much VM experience and I didn't think of them for this. I didn't know you can do suspend to disk. Does it work reliably? Would I be correct in guessing each "saved session" would be no greater in size than your available RAM?

Interface-wise would it be similar to a remote session where you open a window and it has a full second desktop inside it?
