Feel free to comment in this issue, suggest topics, suggest persons to interview, or use the edit button (that looks like a pen) to edit and create a pull request with the changes you would like.

Let's try to publish this edition around the end of March 2024!

Thanks!

Hey, I think part 2 of "So You Think You Know Git" can be incorporated in this edition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md44rcw13k4

We may see more discussion on improving workflows to work on Git.

There is a talk to allow patch authors to propose the summary of the topic to appear in the release notes.

To make it easier to find who to ask for help, using a more formal mechanism is being proposed.

@gitster thanks for the pointers! I will see if I can add them either in this edition or in the next one.

@spectre10 thanks for the head up on this! @jnareb will likely include a link.

My links have landed in fe1564c .

@spectre10 , thanks for the link, it is included in the mentioned commit.

I wonder if the following link would be interesting to Git Rev News readers:

Definitely an interesting thread. It seems worth including in this edition to me 👍🏼

@jnareb thanks for your links!

Toy/demo: using ChatGPT to summarize lengthy LKML threads (b4 integration) thread on Linux kernel mailing list, started by Konstantin Ryabitsev.

It's very interesting to me at least. I hope I and others will be able to use something like this to help with writing articles for Git Rev News :-)

This comment in Linus Arver's interview:

Junio has been our maintainer for over a decade.

would probably be more accurately stated as:

Junio has been our maintainer for nearly two decades.

Also, in the same interview, the placement of the parentheses in:

a fairly (easy) way to fix things

seems odd; perhaps it should be:

a (fairly) easy way to fix things

Thanks @sunshineco for the greats spots! Corrected them in 78f1fef

Thanks @sunshineco and @sivaraam for the fixes!

Under “Git: programmatic staging”, grepdiff by Tim Waugh (from Patchutils) is mentioned. Then under “Git tools and sites”, grepdiff by Russ Cox is mentioned. Is this a mistake or serendipity?

@mjaix thanks for the great fixes.

About sorting the Release section, there is some kind of order in it, as Git releases for example are always first. But I agree that we could maybe make it explicit or discuss it. Feel free to open an issue for that if you have some suggestions.

@LemmingAvalanche and @stepnem, it seems to me that these are indeed 2 different tools with the same name. Maybe we could just mention that. @jnareb what do you think?

Anyway I think we could do it after the edition is published so I will move forward with publishing it.

I just merged #704, but the merge was a bit complex as the file had been moved to the published location and there was another PR that I also merged in the meantime. Anyway everything should be fine.

For the note, in 6be0a6d I commented the "Various" sub-section of "Other News" since it didn't seem to have any news items.

Thanks @sivaraam !
