• FeiFlow - An Opinioned Git Branching And Release Management Strategy

  Addressing these concerns requires safeguards and automation. Our "in-house" solution is based on powershell for git scripting and logic and ADO tools set for git repo hosting, tracking, planning, linking, building, execution, and querying purposes. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• If you have no experience, learn Powershell (or Python)

  The official PowerShell documentation (specifically, the PowerShell 101 and About topics) is a great place to start. Source: 5 months ago

• Best resource to learn PowerShell?

  Really sorry about that this was the link I embedded https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/. Source: 11 months ago

• Feeling pretty down/demoralized. Any suggestions on easy wins for my team?

  - Pick something unique to your team that’s an irritant and find a way to automate it. We used Powershell to do this ourselves, but I know people also use BASH. Source: about 1 year ago

• Unexpected behaviour when processing large file with StreamReader

  Uh, what? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/ is not official to you? Source: about 1 year ago

• Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy

  Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. After a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• How do you even get started programming in c++ on Windows?

  You could try Cygwin. I never leave home without it. Source: about 1 year ago

• What exactly IS gitbash?

  It's launching MSYS2, which is in turn based on cygwin, which is a collection of common Linux utilities built for windows and an incomplete POSIX abstraction layer. Source: over 1 year ago

• Kind of an obvious design flaw

  IME, not really? Git for Windows or MSYS2 are both pretty solid. I used Cygwin for years, but MSYS2 seems to integrate a bit more smoothly (plus MSYS uses pacman instead of Cygwin's fiddly gui for package management). Source: over 1 year ago

• WSL - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using a ton of memory?

  Try Cygwin or Msys2, they are not running virtual machines. For Bash and Neovim only you probably don't want to run a whole virtual machine. Source: over 1 year ago
