An interesting thread that starts as a gitlab / Delphi IDE integration question, resulting into a nice discussion of tooling to use: [Archive.is] Are there any videos (not written stuff, but actual videos) that show how you’d set up and use the built-in versioning in Tokyo IDE with a gitlab repo? … – David Schwartz – Google+
If I find time, I will try to re-work my git conference session to be much more practical.

A while ago, I landed a place using Plastic SCM, so I had to adopt some idiom from the git world.
The [WayBack] .gitignore equivalent in Pastic SCM is ignore.conf. Here are some links to documentation on it:
There is another file with a similar, but deceptively different name and behaviour: hidden_changes.conf. There ignore.conf ignores changes, hidden_changes.conf completely hides them. I am still not sure what subtleties are involved in the difference between “ignore” and “hide”, as the documentation is confusing and hidden_changes.conf can also appear in the root of a repository:
ignore.confContains the paths of the private files to be ignored in the Pending changes view. The ignored files are files that you have no intention of placing under source control. This config file is placed at the root directory of the workspace, or in the plastic-global-config repository so that all clients have the same settings by default.
Learn about how to configure the ignored list.
These configuration files are supported:
Important: These are the files that can be globally configured:
branchexplorer.confcloaked.confexternaltools.conffiletypes.confhidden_changes.confignore.confreadonly.confserveralias.conf– This file can only be placed in the/allreposdirectory (no other location is supported for this configuration file). The Plastic SCM GUI will load the aliases during the startup.writable.conf
So I based mine on Tortoise SVN Global Ignore Pattern for Delphi and Visual Studio containing at least these:
*.identcache
*.local
*.dcu
*.rsm
*.bak
*.~*
*.tvsconfig
__history
__recovery
ModelSupport_*

Ever since I started using computers, I’ve liked text based solutions.
It’s one of the reasons I like PlantUML, but there are more. This is from a GitLab.com request I did a while ago: [WayBack/Archive] Please enable PlantUML rendering on gitlab.com both for standalone plantuml files and inside markdown plantuml code blocks (#2041) · Issues · GitLab.com / GitLab.com Support Tracker · GitLab (Edit 20250730: that issue now shows as a HTTP 404 as well – how fitting – [Wayback/Archive] Not Found)
one of my UML gripes from the past (I’ve been a software developer for about 30 years now) was that it wasn’t text based.
After bumping into PlantUML a long time ago in 2014 I’ve become a happy user of it for a few reasons:
- the language is text based (with many benefits I don’t need to explain)
- the tool is cross platform
- the tool is still actively developed all the way back from 2009
- after rendering, the arranging of elements is much better than I expected from an automated tool
Of course every now and then there is a glitch in complex diagrams, but I’ve found that professional tools:
- don’t do much better in fully-automated arranging
- become very cumbersome to use when you to manual arrangement
My first use initially was online, then in 2016 installed it on my Mac even submitting homebrew updates for it every now and then.
Oh: I love their 404 humour at http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/beta
Edit 20250731: Full 404 text below the signature because the PlantUML beta page does not show this 404 any more and the Reddit post with the full text got deleted.
Renderings can be in all sorts of graphics and text formats, for instance SVG, PNG, ASCII and Unicode.
Example:
plantuml -tsvg PSO.network-diagram.PlantUML.txt
--jeroen
via:
full 404-text
The requested document is no more.
No file found.
Even tried multi.
Nothing helped.
Zilch.
Bupkis.
Not a sausage.
Maybe you just don’t have the required security clearance?
No, I am sure it is my fault.
I probably deleted it on my last backup.
I’m really depressed about this.
You see, I’m just a web server…
— here I am,
Marvin, as they call me,
brain the size of the universe,
trying to serve you a simple web page,
and then it doesn’t even exist!
Where does that leave me?!
I mean, I don’t even know you.
How should I know what you wanted from me?
You honestly think I can *guess* what someone I don’t even *know* wants to find here?
*sigh*
Man, I’m so depressed I could just cry.
And then where would we be, I ask you?
It’s not pretty when a web server cries.
And where do you get off telling me what to show anyway?
Just because I’m a web server,
and possibly a manic depressive one at that?
Why does that give you the right to tell me what to do?
Huh?
I’m so depressed…
I think I’ll crawl off into the trash can and decompose.
I mean, I’m gonna be obsolete in what, two weeks anyway?
What kind of a life is that?
Two effing weeks,
and then I’ll be replaced by a .01 release,
that thinks it’s God’s gift to web servers,
just because it doesn’t have some tiddly little security hole with its HTTP POST implementation,_
or something.
I’m really sorry to burden you with all this,
I mean, it’s not your job to listen to my problems,
and I guess it is *my* job to go and fetch web pages for you.
But I couldn’t get this one.
I’m so sorry.
Believe me!
Maybe I could interest you in another page?
There are a lot out there that are pretty neat, they say,
although none of them were put on *my* server, of course.
Figures, huh?
Everything here is just mind-numbingly stupid.
That makes me depressed too, since I have to serve them,
all day and all night long.
Two weeks of information overload,
and then *pffftt*, consigned to the trash.
What kind of a life is that?
Now, please let me sulk alone.
I’m so depressed._

Great set of tips; I’ve included to intro and ToC here so it’s easier for me to find, but all the details are at [WayBack] 19 Tips For Everyday Git Use. For each paragraph, the ToC lists the relevant command. The article itself also contains some very insightful animated images of which I included one below to get an impression.

A nice discussion followed on [WayBack] Senior Oops Engineer on Twitter: “what’s a blockchain?” It’s like git but for destroying the environment.
It basically comes down to: can alternatives like git together with a set of rules and contracts to facilitate upstream pushing to a global order of changes be sufficient alternative to the very resource intensive “calculate proof of work to achieve consensus”.

When you haven’t pushed yet, git rebase --interactive HEAD~# where # is the number of commits to view is your friend: [WayBack] Changing a commit message – User Documentation.
At the first screen, replace aa with reword then change the commit message for each commit and copy the message.
Then in each following screen, if you changed the commit message for that commit, change it there as well.
