A currently mostly empty draft is there:

https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/rev_news/drafts/edition-117.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 November 2024!

Thanks!

I forgot to mention this interesting link in time for edition 116, but maybe it can be part of this edition? https://www.jonathancreamer.com/how-we-shrunk-our-git-repo-size-by-94-percent/

Mergiraf was suggested on the mailing list, it might be worth to include it.

Thanks @To1ne for the suggestion!

@jnareb will likely take a look at that, and @dscho 's suggestion too, when he will prepare his links for the edition.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it.

(I have found about this tool also via https://programming.dev/post/21520218)

I just had a look at https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/rev_news/drafts/edition-117.md and it didn't have any links yet... was it intentional to send out https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAP8UFD1R3Cp00KF2nAX6C5q=dtYLdaJKomXWM4DjM5DwjLi53w@mail.gmail.com/T/#u before those links were integrated?

chriscool commented

@dscho yes, we send the draft email a few days before the end of each month even when @jnareb hasn't integrated the links. Hopefully he should integrate them soon.

jnareb commented

Links have landed in a452810 .

jnareb commented

The delay in sending links was, in part, caused by being busy with other work. One of the visible results of this other work is the PatchScope app that just got made public. It is however in quite early stages of development.

In a bit of self promotion (I am one of its authors), I have added this app to links in f10de59 (separate commit, to make it easier to revert if deemed necessary).

@jnareb thanks for the great links!
