Commit signing in 2023 is kinda wack (lobi.to)
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.

Show HN: Personal Time Tracking with Git (doocot.sh)
Tracking time worked is unsexy at best, intrusive micro-management at worst. But I think understanding where time is spent lets individuals drive velocity through better choices. We can do this automatically with git hooks.
