Git? Snow? (geek, weather, covid-19)
We are currently at the point where if the forecast is inches of snow, we think "maybe we will see a flake or two." As i headed to bed last night, there were fat flakes falling occasionally. I think if a cluster of snow crystals found each other to fall together, they could stay cold enough to hit the ground as snow.
Tonight's prediction is 2" of snow. Yeah, right.
So are the grocery shortages supply chain or snow panic, i wonder.
I read the announcement of a late February pub crawl in my town with a sense of wonder. The Omicron case rates shot up so fast: could they come down fast enough in the next four weeks for a pub crawl to seem not insane?
In other wonders, i wonder if the tech folks among us have a guide to using git they like. I am really fuzzy on the different ways my colleagues use it, and i am wondering if i should be using it in my personal data repository more cleverly. I use Visual Studio as my editor these days (since the mac changed permissioning, and i would have to recompile emacs to run it). Is it easy to bob back and forth between branches? Right now i use it like i used code repositories in the 90s. At least my coding is slightly more sophisticated than my Fortran coding was, but not by much.

When I was trying to re-enter the work force, I was blogging my learnings. Here is the search in that blog for the term Git. It starts with some very easy resources in the oldest posts, and there are more complex things in the more recent posts.
There was a thing by Women Who Code DC that I remember being better than it appears to be.
Git SCM has a few videos that are short, in order, and less chaotic than poking through my old blog posts.
There are tools that make dealing with git easier like Oh-My-Zsh for command line on Linux variants which I mention in my blog. Git SCM has a list of GUI tools, and that makes some of this stuff easier to visualize.
