Ah crap Steve really sorry to hear that - stay safe and let us know if we can do anything to help πŸ€—

https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-policy/github-terms-of-service#5-license-grant-to-other-users notes that it's just making a copy ie GitHub's fork button, not then making changes on top of it

 Reply

"view and fork" != being able to make modifications, so I think my point still stands - I'll have a read of the terms of service though to refresh my understanding though thanks!

If your portfolio doesn't have a license on it, it's technically illegal for them to contribute to it because it defaults to proprietary. Not many folks realise that, so contributions may come in. But yep, folks raising PRs is possible if a repo is public and they want to help / etc

I've just upgraded from slimline to full size and being able to wash plates is amazing, I can't imagine the joy of going from nothing to dishwasher!

 Reply

I'm sure I've seen this when you look at the merge commit, or commits on the main branch, if the repo uses tagging - it shows all tags applicable, so you have to do some thinking to find the first

It's also possible to be able to do i.e. git checkout origin/pull/1/head via https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/01/19/git-ref-github-pull-requests/

Supportability / operability is a big one for me - both, "what will the next team supporting this project think of this code" and "am I going to be annoyed if I get called out for this unnecessary ERROR log"? Also being much more considered for writing code that is (hopefully) more understandable than idiomatic, as folks don't necessarily come to the job with strong language knowledge, and making things understandable by all is better than a subset who know the language better

A number of Git hosting tools (GitLab and GitHub at least) use origin/HEAD to denote primary branch on the upstream so you could probably do something with that

 Reply

That's a shame. The thought is that when sitting behind a gateway you may have an API key and potentially other headers, but locally you wouldn't need them as you're going direct

 Reply

Dang that's gotta be tough - I can kinda see the angle it's coming from, but the flip side is stopping people wanting to share thoughts outside of the org, which is definitely a bad thing!

I use Matomo and that has both DNT by default and the ability to disable cookies. I've been using it for years and recommend it - it's lightweight to self-host, or you can pay ~Β£3/mo for it to be hosted for you
