Gitless: a simple version control system built on top of http://gitless.com/

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/09

Time to experiment with [WayBack] Gitless: a simple version control system built on top of http://gitless.com/:

Gitless is an experiment to see what happens if you put a simple veneer on an app that changes the underlying concepts. Because Gitless is implemented on top of Git (could be considered what Git pros call a “porcelain” of Git), you can always fall back on Git.

It is open source at https://github.com/sdg-mit/gitless

“Real Options” Underlie Agile Practices

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/09

On my reading list: [WayBack“Real Options” Underlie Agile Practices

Whether we realise it or not, “freedom to choose” is a principle underlying many Agile practices. By avoiding early commitments, we gain flexibility in the choices we make later. In this article, Chris Matts and Olav Maassen propose that an understanding of “Real Options” allows us to develop and refine new agile practices and take agile in directions it hasn’t gone before.

Git man-page generator (“Git is easy to learn”)

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/08

Somebody didn’t believe the claim “Git is easy to learn” and wrote a [WayBackgit man page generator  (of course with a repository: github: Lokaltog/git-man-page-generator), for example generating

git-complete-tip

NAME

git-complete-tipcomplete all non-committed downstream tips opposite of a few rebased remote indices

SYNOPSIS

git-complete-tip [ –maintain-log | –lecture-violate-history ]

DESCRIPTION

git-complete-tip completes a few staged tips inside any forward-ported non-staged unstaged indices, and a few checked out subtrees fscked by histories in the tree, but that are not in HOLD_SUBTREE, are checked out in a temporary pack.

 …

For the same reason there is [WayBack] XKXD: Git (image on the right), which is [WayBack] explained for a reason. Just see this little summary:

The difficulty of using Git in common situations is belied by the apparent simplicity of its use in tutorial-style situations. Committing and sharing changes is fairly straightforward, for instance, but recovering from situations such as accidental commits, pushes or bad merges is difficult without a solid understanding of the rather large and complex conceptual model. For instance, three of the top five highest voted questions on Stack Overflow are questions about how to carry out relatively simple tasks: undoing the last commit, changing the last commit message, and deleting a remote branch.

Actually the “easy to learn” means “there is easy to find documentation for it“.

Many Computer Science concepts do not apply to Enterprise Applications

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/08

Old long read: [WayBackEnterpriseApplication; Martin Fowler 24 March 2014

Via: [WayBackWeekend Reader 2017.46 – reality-loop:

Characteristics of Enterprise Applications

It’s an old article but I like to come back to it from time to time: Martin Fowler describes the term “Enterprise Applications” and explains why some concepts from classical “Computer Science” are not applicable.
