A currently mostly empty draft is there:

https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/rev_news/drafts/edition-114.md

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 August 2024!

Thanks!

I've been working on a custom git completer and just managed to finish a first pass: carapace-sh/carapace-bin#99
There is still a lot to do and fix (git is a monster, after all), but the main commands work quite well.

Here's a high-level overview of carapace itself: https://pixi.carapace.sh .

@rsteube thanks for the information. @jnareb might add links related to your tool in this edition.

@jnareb, here is an article from the GitLab blog that you might want to link to:

I haven't been able to identify a candidate and send out the interview mail on time for this edition. I'll try to do it on time for the next one. Feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions on a interview candidates.

Would it be worth to add the blog post I wrote for MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/blog/optimize-your-workflow-git-stash/ ? #shamelessplug

chriscool commented

@sivaraam no worries. We know it's difficult to find candidates and it takes time to interview them. And by the way, no, I don't have any candidate suggestion.

chriscool commented

@To1ne, thanks for the link suggestion. @jnareb will take a look and decide on it.

Nice article @To1ne . I have added it in 27510d1 .

Though, for your information, I personally consider git stash push --keep-index to be important functionality that git stash provides, allowing one to test partial commit, i.e. test changes when splitting the commit, or selecting what to include in commit (--keep-index is automatically implied by git stash push --patch, which I did not know about).

There is also merge.autoStash and rebase.autoStash.
