Yea, curious too about some more rules e.g. both parties has to contribute to the discussion (:

Quite a thoughtful way to adapt exams to wave of new tools for students and learn on the way.
I wished other universities adapt so quickly too (and have such a mindful attitude to students e.g. try to understand them, be upfront with expectations, learning from students etc).
Majority of professors are stressed and treat students as idiots... at least that was the case decade a go!

What! I was git gui user for decade and didn't notice this feature =D But yea, git gui is amazing overall. I don't think it's maintained anymore though.
BTW lazygit offers that too and it's a bit easier to discover and use (e.g. you don't need a mouse).

force with lease has been used in lazgit already AFAIK, see: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/discussions/4068#di...

Fully agree!
1. Yes, it's been a frustration initially, but it has a nice benefit - it forces you to use native features (e.g. patch based copy/reset). Apparently it's on the radar, but not implemented yet: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/4365#issueco...
2. Yes, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45898167 discussion. Using IDE is great if all your machines has this IDE installed (and GUI in general). The stability (graphical layout) is likely changing often though.

Yes, I think it's a reasonable option if you use vscode on all your dev machines.
We discussed this in another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45898167

Oh yes, I use lazygit as a separate binary (brew installed) from separate terminal shell all the time. No need for nvim!
Great to hear you can neatly configure similar UX (popup) with tmux!

That's a great point. I should have mention the IDE Git UIs, def a nice option and sounds like the JB one works well for you!
I do use it heavily for "annotating git blame"!
I've never consider using JB Git UI fully mainly because of the point made earlier, so stability (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45898089). Once you learn, especially visually, you don't want cosmetic changes. IDEs change yearly to stay "consistent".
Another point is portability. E.g. I didn't want to pay for personal use of JB (so rare case), so I have to use different IDE. Separate tools (especially free and OSS) is a big advantage. Not mentioning ability to use it on remote shells or different machines!
lazy git offers 1, but 2 and 3 points are interesting. Wonder if there's an easy way to compare commits and filter commits by user and folder in lazygit. (:
EDIT: Actually, I also use JB for conflict resolutions ;P so not entirely 100% lazygit flow.

Makes sense, thanks!

I think there's a learning around stability of devtools here. It takes time to get used to things, but once you do you are ultra productive. That's why IDE Git UIs are not ideal, because the graphics change so often, confusing you more than helping etc.
I got stuck to git gui / gitk for so long for this reason, I couldn't parse other UIs e.g. for diffs until I forced myself to have a less productive time to learn new UI.
I hope lazygit is stable - I think I might need to construct some stable config for visuals / colors to ensure this! (:

Should be now fixed, 6k views was too much for a free tier! Thanks for archive link

Thanks for sharing!
This is epic prove that we can still learn a lot from developers in 1980! Recently wrote "Effient Go" book and there were tons of valuable info from that era, and we usually skip this knowledge thinking it's irrelevant.

Same feeling.
Yet, it is on top of HN (: Humans are interesting!
