technical

I liked programming at one place for a long time

after working full-time at the same programming job for 8 years, I’ve made the decision to leave – and I’m realizing that there are some things I’ll especially miss… my coworkers this one’s fairly obvious I think, due to the whole “social beings” quandary: I’m gonna miss the people I’ve worked with for the better part of a decade. I have been the last one standing on my team like 3 times during my tenure – so even though I’ve been working on the same team for 7+ years, I’m lucky to have worked directly with lots of people who have since moved onto other teams or left the company.

git technical handbook

introduction this guide is my attempt to construct a functional handbook for using git and learning a bit about how it works. to write this, I’ve extracted some tips I found helpful from the first version of the Pro Git book (licensed under CC by-nc-sa 3.0), and relied on my own experiences to furnish that framework. I mostly wrote this to formalize a reference for myself, but I hope it can be helpful for others interested to use git - beginners and experts alike!
