Join us for a Git presentation featuring Rusty
Rusty Phillips has been a polyglot developer for over 20 years (and Java to some degree during all of that time), and has spent that time specializing
in not specializing - learning as much as possible in almost every
area of computer science and computer engineering. One of the few
areas that he has specialized in is configuring his environment to
suit the work that he's doing.
THE GIT STUFF:
1. Overview of version control features
- Locking checkout vs non-locking checkout
- distributed vs server-client
- Merge advantages of distributed
- Large binary disadvantage of distributed version control.
2. Git setup:
- ssh public/private keys; using ~/.ssh/config
- github, gitlab, bitbucket. (gitlab for demo)
- .gitconfig setup.
3. branches
4. commit vs push
5. fetch vs pull
6. The dangerous, common commands:
rebase, cherry-pick
7. Other important commands:
rm, reset, stash
8. merge vs mergetool, diff vs difftool
DEMO - commits with conflicts.
Other important areas:
1. Stealing dotfiles from the internet
(mine: tmux + nvim + oh-my-zsh + powerline).
2. CI/CD for gitlab via yaml file.
Stay tuned for details. Let me know if you’ll help out by sponsoring pizza. Thanks, Mike Levin

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

By Daniel DominguezAmazon CloudFront now supports HTTPS DNS alias records in Route 53, streamlining DNS lookups by returning protocol details alongside IP addresses. This innovation accelerates page loads, enhances security against downgrade attacks, and eliminates DNS costs. With wide browser support, it significantly boosts performance and reduces operational expenses for users.
By Steef-Jan WiggersThe open-source infrastructure-as-code project OpenTofu has released version 1.10, marking what the development team describes as their "most comprehensive update yet". The release introduces container registry support for provider and module distribution alongside several enterprise-focused features designed to simplify state management and improve developer workflows.
By Matt SaundersFollowing the introduction of Model Runner a few months ago, Docker Desktop 4.43 expands its capabilities with improved model management and broader OpenAI compatibility. The release also debuts a new Compose Bridge to simplify the generation of Kubernetes configurations and upgrade the Gordon AI agent.
