Here's an analysis of commit subject case across Git history for Git itself that I did today. Might be worth including? No pressure.

Answer 2 · 2025-01-17T09:39:22.000Z

@benknoble, thanks for the suggestion. @jnareb will decide about linking to it.

Answer 3 · 2025-01-29T17:33:26.000Z

@jnareb
Here are some links for your consideration:

How I use git worktrees
Git Trailers
Is there a way to split the git history of a file or combine the histories of two files without a merge commit?
Edit commit message with git reword - (a brief post I wrote recently)

RE: worktrees, Matklad's article on them might be of interest if it hasn't already been shared.

Answer 5 · 2025-01-30T10:21:38.000Z

@benknoble thanks for the suggestion to add MatKlad's article. It was already shared in edition 113 though.

Answer 6 · 2025-01-30T10:35:14.000Z

@bpugh thanks for your suggestions!

Let me take a quick look at them (even if @jnareb will decide on this):

How I use git worktrees : this one hasn't been shared yet
Git Trailers : this one was shared in edition 108, but it might have been updated last November, so it might be worth sharing it again.
Is there a way to split the git history of a file or combine the histories of two files without a merge commit? : this one hasn't been shared yet while articles from the same author were already shared (like: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20230728-00/?p=108498)
Edit commit message with git reword - (a brief post I wrote recently) : this one hasn't been shared yet, and yeah we have already shared articles from you and you have already helped us with links several times, thanks again!
