For vscode: git-rename – Visual Studio Marketplace

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/26

In vscode, I have installed [Wayback/Archive] git-rename – Visual Studio Marketplace (with source code at [Wayback/Archive] adam8810/vscode-git-rename: Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink using git-mv).

Many people assume that git does recognise rename (or mv) operations by itself. Often it does, but it fails, and when it fails it usually is in a complex situation where it is easy to overlook it did not recognise the rename.

Failing complex situations I have encountered in the past (combined they get worse):

  • rename across several directories
  • first edit, then rename
  • first rename, then edit

So it is better to proactively perform an IDE-assisted git mv operation that informs git of the rename.

Many IDE environments support a built-in rename that keeps git mv in the loop, but Visual Studio Code does not, hence the need for this extension.

It means I agree with the question, disagree with the answer, and agree with the comment in [Wayback/Archive] VS Code ‘git mv’ to preserve file history? – Stack Overflow:

Konstantin Ryabitsev yesterday won Mastodon: “I believe that tree is in a detached state.”

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/01/19

I laughed a bit too hard: [Wayback/Archive] @monsieuricon@social.kernel.org: “@torvalds I believe that tree is in a detached state.” in a response to

[Wayback/Archive] Linus Torvalds @torvalds@social.kernel.org: Day four of no power and no Internet. This big tree is the reason.…

Day four of no power and no Internet. This big tree is the reason. One among hundreds in the area, but this is the one that took out *our* power and Internet.

PGE (Portland General Electric) claims we should get power back by 10pm today, but the ice storm arrives today, so we’ll see.

Edit: well, it looks like PGE fixed the outage by just removing me from the outage database, not by actually reconnecting power. That was the second time that happened, so I re-re-reported the outage. Not that I was hugely optimistic about the 10pm timeframe, but it looks even less likely now.

Git commit message templates: commit.template configuruation setting

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/01/11

Earlier this week I wrote about Fork Gist to Repo on GitHub – Stack Overflow and found out the example is about the git configuration variable commit.template which was completely new to me.

So below are a few links as it is a very cool feature!

Basically it is a pointer/softlink to a template file that has the initial commit message (the config can either be per repository or global).

Links (most via [Wayback/Archive] “commit.template” “git” – Google Search):

It also has some links to the documentation, but not deep links and misses a few, so I added those below myself.

Fork Gist to Repo on GitHub – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/01/09

It is not a full fork and misses a few things (including the Gist description), but is the easiest way to clone a gist to a regular GitHub repository.

I needed it because somehow pushing to gists was denied without explanation or real GitHub feedback.

Another reason is that regular GitHub repositories show you way more information about the commits than Gists do.

Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Noitidart for asking and [Wayback/Archive] Bruno Bronosky for answering at [Wayback/Archive] Fork Gist to Repo on GitHub – Stack Overflow:
