> Gitea but the other one
Wouldn't that also be Gogs? https://gogs.io/
I remember when that one was what a lot of people were looking into, before the Gitea fork happened. It's odd to see how this has happened yet again, but I guess is a good thing that it's even possible in the first place, if there are indeed differing values and goals?
Linux Mint with Cinnamon: https://www.linuxmint.com/ as far as desktop OSes go it's familiar (Ubuntu without snaps by default), whereas the UI feels both snappy, doesn't use too much resources and is actually pretty to look at.
MobaXTerm: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ this one is a bit more Windows centric but I ended up paying for it and replaced mRemoteNg and PuTTY with it, it's even better than Remmina or whatever Linux has to offer - you can manage SSH/RDP/VNC/... sessions, input across multiple sessions side by side and it just simplifies things a lot (jump host support, a port forwarding too and so much more).
GitKraken: https://www.gitkraken.com/ also a piece of software that I paid for, this one actually makes using Git pleasant, feels better to use than SourceTree and Git Cola (even though that latter is wonderfully lightweight, too) and honestly I prefer that to the CLI nowadays.
Kanboard: https://kanboard.org/ is a lightweight Kanban project management tool, it might not have every feature under the sun but it's the most snappy project management tool I've ever used, looks simple and runs well. I honestly love it, what a nice thing to have.
Most modern text editors and IDEs: I personally pay for JetBrains IDEs but also like Visual Studio Code as a text editor and both have helped me immensely, they're reasonably performant when you have the RAM, look nice, often give you suggestions about how to improve your code and also have a plethora of plugins in their ecosystems. Nowadays I unapologetically use LLMs as well and overall it feels like I have these great tools and cool autocomplete (that is sometimes a bit silly and wrong) at my disposal, that makes me happy.
Kdenlive: https://kdenlive.org/ imagine if there was a successor to Windows Movie Maker, though something that gets most of the important stuff out of Sony Vegas, except is also completely free and works on most platforms. Kdenlive is all of that and also somehow quite pleasant to use, I actually prefer it to DaVinci resolve. There is a bit of a learning curve to any piece of software like this, but everything mostly makes sense in this one.
Gitea: https://about.gitea.com/ I still use this for my personal Git repositories and integrating with CI systems and it's lightweight, looks good and just feels pleasant to use. Previously I self-hosted GitLab and constantly ran into resource exhaustion as well as doubts about the next update is going to corrupt all of my data and break (it did), so now I use Gitea instead.
Drone CI: https://www.drone.io/ a container native CI solution that I can also self host. It's container oriented, integrates with Gitea nicely, is similarly nice to GitLab CI and doesn't cause me headaches like Jenkins would.
Docker: https://www.docker.com/ yes, even Docker desktop. It just makes working with containers really pleasant and predictable, even when something like Podman also exists (and also is great). I don't know, I feel like Docker really saved me from having brittle legacy environments, even self-contained containers with health checks and resource limits with still the same brittle code inside of those make me feel way more safe.
I agree that git is almost asking you to juggle commits.
My preference is to use temporary branches and cherry-picking instead of stashing; I mostly use a gui* to work with git so it is easy to select the two or three commits to cherry-picking or see visually if an interactive rebase would work.
PowerShell: https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git/blob/master/src/GitPromp...
I believe this is clean Bash code and clean PowerShell code, and a script with a certain complexity. The functions inside the Bash script are documented using comments, the ones inside the PowerShell script are documented using "structured comments" (similar to javadoc/xmldoc/...). The parameters of the functions inside the PowerShell script also contain metadata which is used to provide completion on the commandline and similar functionality as the command line flags you demonstrated.
I just learned about 'getopts' in Bash, which you can actually also use to implement parameters to a Bash function. So what you are showing on a script level, can also be applied for functions. Did not know about that.
Still, not saying PowerShell is better than Bash in a Linux context, but it seems a lot of Linux users have a gut reaction to right out reject PowerShell. I think it does have some advantages for certain use cases, like more complex scripts, a cross-platform context, ... and of course, for someone with a .NET background it's easier to program more complex things with it.
Gitversion: It reads your commit history and generates a semver version out of it. Say you are compiling main branch and have a tag 1.0. Then, you squash 3 PRs. When you build this version, the new version number will be 1.0.3. You can configure it to be smarter about increasing major, minor, patch fields. I typically use prefix on the commit messages so that it generates versions correctly. See more at https://gitversion.net/docs/
I use Husky.net to hook in dotnet format on changed files.
