Hacker News with Generative AI: Git

Working with Git Patches in Apple Mail (2023) (btxx.org)
I recently covered how to work with git email patches in Evolution on Linux, so I thought it would make sense to walk through a similar workflow for those using Apple Mail on MacOS. The idea is essentially the same, with just a little extra work involved.

Useful Git (amirghofran.com)
I’ve been using Git and Github for years now. I’ve only been using it myself for solo projects, just to keep version control if I mess something up. All I’d ever used were git add, git commit, git push.

I’ve been taking a look at authorisation processes for version control systems at work and had three colleagues independently ask about scope for git commit signing, but they were surprised to discover I’d been soured toward traditional approaches for git commit signing and generally advise shying away from signing due to complexity.
