gitlab VS hub

(Side note: Issues are usually hash-prefixed like #1234 both on GitLab and GitHub. However, commit messages must not begin with a hash, they would be considered a comment and ignored. Therefore, GitHub has introduced the alternative prefix GH- and I've contributed a similar prefix GL- to GitLab a while ago.)

and its "oh, you want multi-arch, do you?" friend. While prosecuting this <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/339567> I learned that https://hub.docker.com/layers/multiarch/qemu-user-static/7.2... actually mutates the binfmt_misc in buildx's context in order to exec the static copy of qemu in it https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static/blob/v7.2.0-1/...

and, that the buildx plugin itself has some qemu magick in it, which got addressed in a minor version bump but I couldn't track down the relevant GitHub issue this second (I've flushed it from my mind, only recalling that there were a lot of actors in that tire fire)

This is actually a follow-up refactor, the fix is here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/commit/abe79e4ec43798...

This made me curious. Having never read the gitlab code before, and on mobile, took all of about 30 seconds to find https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/config/ro...

Those are some pretty clean routes!

Use hub here via CLI and forget the gui https://hub.github.com/

Try automating the PR process as much as possible. Make use of tools like hub CLI for speeding up the pull request process. Code quality tools can help you automate the due diligence for coding standards and conventions, and test automation tools can assist in bug discovery, and identifying security vulnerabilities.

You can extend this: https://github.com/github/hub

parse_git_branch() { # Speed up opening up a new terminal tab by not # checking `$HOME` ...which can't be a repo anyway # # For the heck of it, micro-optimize this too: # time (repeat 1000000 { [ "$PWD" = "$HOME" ] } ) == ~4.2s # time (repeat 1000000 { [[ "$PWD" == "$HOME" ]] } ) == ~1.4s [[ "$PWD" == "$HOME" ]] && return # Fastest known way to check the current branch name # (Uses `command` to bypass wrappers like https://hub.github.com/) ref="$(command git symbolic-ref --short HEAD 2> /dev/null)" || return echo " [$ref]" }

Which will create a new remote with that name (otherwise origin will be used).

It is also less typing.

I alias git to use HUB from GitHub

If you also install Hub https://github.com/github/hub it gives you a git create command, it also has a set of really useful additional CLI utilities.
