Brian #1: Git: Force push safely with --force-with-lease and --force-if-includes
- Adam Johnson
- Using gentle force
- Avoid stomping on remote changes with a couple extra flags.
Michael #2: Thoughts from PyCon 2024
- PyCon is special - the connections you make are always more than you expect
- Great to see many old friends
- Did a ”live” Talk Python episode that’ll be out in a few weeks.
- The talks look great, we’ll let you know when they land on YouTube.
- Masks were a mistake - universally heard complaints from fellow attendees. This is my two cents towards a more reasonable next PyCon.
Brian #3: Being friendly: Strategies for friendly fork management
- That’s part 2.
- Part 1 is Being friendly: Friendly forks 101
- Lessley Dennington on GitHub Blog
- Examples of long running friendly forks
- git-for-windows/git, microsift/git, github/git
- two public, one private
- Fork management strategies - when pulling changes downstream
- merging rebase
- git-for-windows/git uses this proactively and regularly
- fake merge + rebase
- new branch
- microsoft/git uses this
- new branch from upstream major versions
- merge previous changes to new branch
- traditional merge
- github/git uses this, conservatively, after a few point bug fix versions
- merging rebase
Michael #4: tach
- A Python tool to enforce a modular, decoupled package architecture.
- tach allows you to define boundaries and control dependencies between your Python packages.
- Each package can define its public interface.
- If a package tries to import from another package that is not listed as a dependency, tach will report an error.
- If a package tries to import from another package and does not use its public interface, with strict: true set, tach will report an error.
- Zero runtime impact.
