Is there a better way to create new cards on #Github project boards? The way I know how to do it involves five clicks and three different steps saving things. Surely there's a better path?
#Gitlab still doesn't support issue templates in #yaml, the way #Github and #Forgejo can. Only #Markdown, which is a lot less attractive. But #Github and #Gitlab can do label changes in the Kanban (project) view, which #Forgejo can't.
La nouvelle version de l’app mobile GitHub embarque le service « Copilot Chat », mais ne propose toujours pas le minimum de fonctionnalités pour gérer une organisation de plus de 300 dépôts. 🙄
Et la version web mobile est une plaie à utiliser.
There is something wrong with this #GitHub#UX that I can't quite understand how to fix, but the problem is this:
Almost 100% of the time when I'm writing a response in a discussion, I want it to be in response to an existing thread, not as a new post. But this UI just screams "new post please!" and relegates the "reply" functionality to visual second class.
@jaykul The complaint I consistently heard about Teams (this is several years ago now) was that their chat model basically forced everything into threads. It was very bad at just "stream of consciousness" chatting, which was how 99% of team channels in Slack worked.
I'm starting to see a wave of single-PR users on GitHub submitting updates to copyright dates. There is nothing obviously malicious about them, though they have a metallic whiff of bot. Is there any reason to avoid these?
@vascorsd Many tools -- like sbt-header -- get cranky if the year is not consistent across the project. But I've started putting the project start year there and leaving it alone.
@ross yeah, I've seen diffs in scala stuff out there and seen than sbt header plugin thing, but fortunately I never used it personally nor professional.
Usually for work it's all internal stuff so there's not really enforcement around that 😅.
Spdx is the best 😌. I'm really liking the short name for the license, and not having to add huge comments with boilerplate text.
I've been trying / experimenting with using reuse tool to manage these things and it's kinda nice too.
I'm frustrated with #Github issue search. I am looking for issues on #Flatpak repo that contains "sort" or "sorting". Github says there is no issue containing "sort" or "sorting"
I was sending a minor PR to the uutils / #coreutils project regarding a breaking test on #NetBSD and thought its a good opportunity to record a video and:
talk about the uutils/coreutils which is a rewrite of coreutils in Rust
@jadi
Noce motto "Have an hour of fun, maybe a lifetime of jobs" 🤓
Btw, it would have been helpful to the project to add a Github Action for NetBSD. This way every new PR will be checked against NetBSD before being merged. In the long run it would be very beneficial imho.
Very excited to announce that @lornajane and I are running a new @openuk Meetup that's digital-only, alongside the other great events being run by the #OpenUK organisation.
Our first event will be a tie-in with #GitHub's #MaintainerMonth and we'll be hearing from a number of excellent maintainers from a variety of projects - stay tuned for more details.
Looking forward to seeing some of y'all on May 22nd at 1200 noon (UK time) for an interesting webinar!
(This will be in addition to other OpenUK events still being hybrid where possible)
I think #2FA with these little 6 digit codes from a dongle or a little app is a good hack to somehow fix our huge security and identity issues on the internet. But there are two implementations that make my blood boil every. single. time.:
#Paypal not accepting ENTER as confirmation of the entered 6 digit code (you need the mouse, arrrrgh!)
#Github just autoloading after the 6th digit is entered, because no-one ever mistyped anything.
@ChrisShort@Widowild1 Knew it : just have to add .atom at the end of every URL to transform it in an RSS feed. That's magic 😆.
Same as adding /feed/ at the end of any WordPress blog URL.
@morenonatural Sorry, the emoji was mainly expressing that we saw the post and are considering the impact on Codeberg / #Forgejo, and how to potentially improve the situation.
Question for other #researchers and #ResearchSoftwareEngineers - if you are submitting supplementary materials to a conference, such as a #github or @huggingface repo, how do you anonymize the repo so that the name of the repo or the repo owner does not violate the anonymity requirements?
@governa
I was using #pfetch for years as it was much simpler script. I recently removed then both from my config although I liked the aesthetics.
Anyways, I'm sure soon we will see NeoFetchXC out something like that. There are similar tools that are written in C or Rust, are cross platform and etc, but they are overkill imho. The simplicity and the readability of the script was the main selling point for me. I learnt few useful things along the years from #neofetch and pfetch.
@fujowebdev It's nice to see representation of something other than #GitHub, but given that #GitLab is maintained by a forprofit, i expect it's only a matter of time before the same shit starts happening (and there /has/ already been one incident). It'd be cool to see like a cameo (or at least an offhand mention) of something like #Forgejo.
I've been trialling GitHub Copilot recently at work and, having been generally skeptical of the golden mountains promised by AI hype guys, I have to say that it gave me a modest efficiency gain in some scenarios. I would miss not having it, much like I would miss not having autocomplete.
I'll probably write up a blog for hgrsd.nl with a few thoughts of where it was helpful for me.
Kennt ihr #Git? Auch wenn ihr kein(e) Programmierer:in seid, dann seid ihr bestimmt schonmal auf #GitHub, #GitLab o.Ä. gestoßen. Auch als Designer:in, Maker:in, Texter:in oder einfach nur zum Projektmanagement spielen Git und die dazugehörigen Plattformen heute eine große Rolle. Wir erklären Git/GitHub/GitLab für Nicht-Programmierer in einem dreistündigen Workshop am Sonntag, den 19. Mai. https://www.welcome-werkstatt.de/veranstaltungen/git-fuer-nicht-programmierer
#VerifiableCredentials enhance trust, privacy, and control in digital interactions by enabling owners to manage how their information is shared and verified. This specification outlines how JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) can secure #VerifiableCredentials using JOSE and COSE.
