Build FASTER Using Git Trees, Neovim and LazyGit

Knowing the processes behind git, and how operations use them is crucial for speed.
Avoiding merge commits can improve build times and make you (or your DevOps teams) life's better, and who doesn't want that?

I omit the --ff-only argument when merging a feature branch by rebasing off of its parent branch (the local branch from which the current branch was checked out from). While the difference appears minor, the benefit for me at least is how it promotes frequent fetching and pulling to the parent branch first, which makes testing more productive as you are not only testing your feature but also the feature's integration into the larger system. I admit this is a subjective approach but it has paid off numerous times while working on fast changing code bases. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Video :D! i have 1 question. Can Tell me 00:58 Your Diagram Note Program?

[ZilverDx]

Cool video I need this Thank you! Q, Which Keyswitch did you choose on your moonlander keyboard? I'm about to purchase one. Are you using zellig in the video?

[Mooooov]

So much useful stuff that’s all blocked in our huge monorepo. So I still have to endure 40+ minute wait times on a stupid JS project when merging a feature branch

[ZeRonaldo]

What is the program you are using to draw?

[willernst]

This is great stuff, but I have to admit, 1:30 in and I'm distracted by your awesome diagramming tool. What is that?

[VinitKhandagle]

love your obsidian theme.. would you be able to share theme and settings

[developonetwork]

Which software are you using for presentation

I thought you switched from LazyGit to NeoGit because of context switching back in March?

[codeman-dev]

I don't get it. What was gained here? You certainly lost github's automatic commit message referencing the source PR.

Why not mention that the video and resource you've based all this on is not in the same language? I really was interested, but it is difficult to follow with only subtitles. Surely there was some other resource that also validates the point. Why not use that?

No, git trees are not filthy, what you have is a cultural bias from the west, there is an interesting video about this situation, `How culture made Japanese Internet design "Weird"` by Cynthia Zhou, *the video starts by comparing western web design vs Japanese web design* she explains what some sociologists have said about this in the past, the *West is analytical vs Eastern Asia is Holistic, * Analytical meaning we center on one thing at a time while Easters Asia focuses on the connections between multiple things, and the art and culture reflects all of this, including web design.

To us, something like the git tree that reflects the multiple connections of things looks confusing just because we don't have the training for it, so is a skill's issue. Of course people in both sides have the skill of the other side, people in the west can be holistic and think better in terms of connection of things while people in east asia can follow the analytical mind focused on thing at a time. but the majority is the other way around.
