Sort git Config

As I was updating some gitflow config today, I noticed that my .gitconfig is a little messy. Like many things, it’s grown organically and I’ve just never thought about tidying it up. It doesn’t have to be organized, but neat and tidy files always make things more fun. Sorting .gitconfig was a bit more challenging than I was expecting. A naive sort mixes sections and values. $ cat ~/.gitconfig | sort

gitflow Subfeatures with gitflow-avh

I’m a huge fan of gitflow. It’s made my life much easier. However, I’ve noticed recently that, as the codebase grows, features can become disorganized or unwieldy. gitflow-avh solves this problem incredibly well by allowing features to be based off any branch. Note Code Problem Feature Per Item Two Features One Feature Solution Installation Using Subfeatures Problem Solved with Subfeatures Note This is not a gitflow overview. Check out the original branching model and the gitflow repo for more information on those.

Update Repo Badges Automatically: Preview

After a day of furious coding and way more debugging, I think I finally have a collection of git hooks that will properly update badge references. Check out the repo; it’s still pretty raw. I’ve manually tested it with both vanilla and git-flow (if you’re not using git-flow, use it). I’ll actually flesh out the code later; for now, I’m really excited and wanted to share. Repo badges are pretty neat.
