> Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.
- • 100%paperless.blog Git bisect run techniques
git bisect run lets us find the breaking commit in O(log(N)) time for N commits, by doing a binary search through commits to determine the one which broke things. It is extremely useful, but the thing which often takes a long time is figuring out which command to use to reliably determine whether a ...

When I started learning Git, I found many references covering two ways to undo commits with git reset:

Git records the local timezone when a commit is made [1]. Knowledge of the timezone in which a commit was made could be used as a bit of identifying information to de-anonymize the committer.
Setting one's timezone to UTC can help mitigate this issue [2][3] (though, ofc, one must still be wary of time-of-day commit patterns being used to deduce a timezone).

- wouterj.nl Store Code Discussions in Git using Git Notes
Code discussions contain relevant information. Isn’t it a shame that we keep these in the centralized GitHub/GitLab servers, far away from our decentralized Git code? As soon as we move provider, we’ll lose all old discussions! And how do you ever find the pull requests back from 5 years ago? Symfon...

- matklad.github.io How I Use Git Worktrees
There are a bunch of posts on the internet about using git worktree command. As far as I can tell, most of them are primarily about using worktrees as a replacement of, or a supplement to git branches. Instead of switching branches, you just change directories. This is also how I originally had usee...
I think it's generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there's still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me.
So what's your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?
Coming from CVS and ClearCase it took me some time to adopt to Git. The fact that it was distributed was confusing at first, for example, because I thought that would cause chaos. But the way we used it was actually not "that distributed". But once I understood how it worked, not doing DVCS was "the wrong way" immediately.

I used CVS and ClearCase before moving into Git, and it took me some time to adjust to the fact that the cost of branching in Git is much much less than ClearCase. And getting into the "distributed" mindset didn't happen overnight.
