Folks who squash their merges, I’m curious why you are making that trade-off. I’m guessing the pro argument is a cleaner merge graph?

The big argument against it for me is that you lose granularity for git bisect. I've often been able to narrow down breakage (sometimes long past the merge) due to individual commits in the merge. If I'd merged in a giant blob all I'd have had to go by is that giant blob. (1/2)

As to the “pro” argument: tooling (like for instance the excellent @fork_dev, see the screenshot) can allow you to fold your merges so they look squashed. I feel like that's the perfect combination - overview on demand without loss of granularity. (2/2)

@cjwirth The only difficulty reverting a non-squashed merge is that you need to pick the ancestor. However, here as well tooling has your back. Fork for example picks the right one by default (plus it's easy to just try each) and then it's like any other revert.

Of course, once you revert that merge you have everything squashed. Alternatively, you could revert the individual commits in reverse order but that's probably hardly worth the effort.

@cjwirth Are you sure it is? I've not seen Github preserve outdated revision that fall off the tree due to force-pushes, rebases, or squashes.

@fabianfett I've rarely seen squashes used like that in practice. They're just big balls. Plus of course you should just have good branch hygiene and make your work focused. That’s independent of your merge strategy!

FWIW, I often rebase out oops or trial and error commits in order to keep the branch tidy.

@ianthetechie Indeed. Using the git CLI is like talking to an API by curling JSON blobs 😉

@stroughtonsmith What sort of kit do you have to run to get these results? I would have taken this for a film CGI shot!

Is there actual interesting game play in this alpha version or is this more like a tech demo at this point?

Any university adopting blindly the DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) religion is condemned to be transformed into a middle-age monastery.

What counts for science (and especially for STEM) is merit.

I’m an Apple shareholder & have lived in the Apple ecosystem for more than 20 years. I am a big fan of the company.

But this advert for the latest iPad is a travesty, a cloth-eared & heartbreaking metaphor for the way that Silicon Valley & get-rich-quick tech bro culture are homogenising, monetising, & even destroying true human creativity, not liberating it as they love to claim.

Delete it, Tim Cook.

@stevehume I don’t think that would change much for me. Of course it crossed my mind it might be CGI but it still depicts mindless destruction of nice things. This wasn’t a garbage compactor. And to squeeze the eyeballs out of the emoji at the end? Weird.

I’m not upset but I •was• cringing the whole way through the segment waiting for a reveal where it would reverse and undo. Or transition into a render scene on an iPad screen, to your point.

An odd way to introduce a new device. 🤷‍♂️

runs amazingly well on the M2 Ultra. 4k on epic settings, super smooth. I don’t think there’s an fps meter but it’s certainly higher than my screen’s 60 fps.
