  • I never got around to using WSL for dev stuff, sadly. I was stuck on Windows 7 until December 2019 and have had a Mac for work ever since. For personal stuff I just use the MSYS environment included in Git for windows (it has bash and a few other things). If I ever got a Windows laptop for work again I’d probably put the time in to learn WSL.







  • I love love love that Fossil is a single executable.

    All in all, the version control wars have ended and git has won. Mercurial is another one I sort of wanna try just to see what it’s like.

    Re: rebasing, I think squashing / rebasing (in place of merging) is bad but I am also one of the few people I know who tries to make a good history with good commit messages prior to opening a pull request by using interactive rebasing. (This topic is confusing to talk about because I have to say “I don’t rebase, instead o rebase” which can be confusing.)
