I've released git-cl, an open source #Git subcommand that brings #changelist support to Git workflows. Organise your working directory files by intent before staging or committing. 📦 Single-file Python tool 🔧 Zero dependencies beyond Git 📖 Tutorial: github.com/BHFock/git-cl

@andyofthings I may be wrong. My judgement is simply that a Norway-style relationship looks politically achievable sooner than full EU membership. If that’s the case, I’d rather take a realistic step forward than wait for the perfect outcome.

@bhf_de You mean persuade based on CU, SM, then explain it makes more sense to just rejoin? Or actually rejoin the CU, SM, then rejoin? I don't support the latter, too slow, will waste a lot of time, take a long while to bring the benefits etc.

Back in London to join today’s #RejoinEU march. My view remains simple: drop the red lines, rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union, and rebuild a closer UK–EU relationship from there.

Freedom of movement is the reddest of Keir Starmer's red lines for his #Brexit reset. Yet, only 18% of voters actually oppose FoM, according to this new @ObserverUK poll, and hardly any of those are Labour voters. (1/3) observer.co.uk/news/national/…

@andyofthings I don’t disagree on the destination. My point is that majorities are built step by step. Dropping the red lines is politically achievable long before full membership.

@bhf_de I see no advantage to doing this step by step. A narrative has been created that it is realy difficult, but actually the simpler option is to unBrexit, just get it done, rather than concocting some sort of custom halfway house that upsets lots of people. Simpler to explain too.

@JohnCotton @getinowherefast British citizens used to have direct access to live, work and study across the EU. That access was lost with Brexit.

@bhf_de @getinowherefast Which bit of "access" do you believe is missing currently?

@nicolegellson Democracy didn’t begin in 2016 and it didn’t end in 2016. The UK’s relationship with Europe will continue to be debated and decided through democratic elections. The peaceful competition of ideas is one of democracy’s strengths, not one of its weaknesses.

@bhf_de And you think disregarding democracy by overturning the largest democratic act of the British people in history will bring harmony within UK, do you? What is more important: UK relations with EU, or UK relations with its own people?!

@JockyRocks Having moved from Germany to the UK and back again, I’d struggle to describe freedom of movement as imprisonment. It expanded my choices rather than restricting them.

@bhf_de It is in decline, that’s an actual fact 20 years ago it’s GDP was similar to America, now it’s nearly half Its economic model is dead Membership is imprisonment

@JockyRocks “The EU is in decline” has been the argument for decades. Yet countries still queue up to join. That doesn’t prove the EU is perfect, but it suggests membership is still seen as an asset. I hope the UK will one day agree.

@bhf_de I think you need to read the meme again The EU is in decline It’s not the future

Whoever is Prime Minister when the jostling is done, one thing is clear: Labour must drop their harmful red lines on Brexit. Times have changed. It’s time to forge a bold new relationship with Europe.

@JockyRocks Why? Because all available evidence suggests that Single Market participation brings more trade, more investment, fewer barriers for businesses and citizens, and a closer partnership with the market right next door.

@bhf_de Why?

@getinowherefast At the cost of making a financial contribution, much like Norway does. In return, the UK would regain far better access to the Single Market. Full EU membership is a separate question; my point is that dropping the red lines should come first.

@bhf_de At what cost?

@KaiXCreator #Changelists for #git - like in subversion but more powerful.

@claudeai My project: #Changelists for #git Code first — branch later. Organise your working tree by intent, then promote your changes to a dedicated branch after the code is written. github.com/BHFock/git-cl

What are you building?

Six Claude projects that all came from the same question: “why not?”

@Akasheth_ Meet git-cl, the CLI tool offering a #PreStagingArea via #Git changelists.

Stell dir vor, morgen ist zu spät und heute reicht noch.

Standard git stash is all-or-nothing. git-cl lets you stash individual changelists: git cl stash experimental git checkout feature-branch # Work on other things git cl unstash experimental Resume exactly where you left off, with context preserved. #git #developertools

Realised mid-work that your changes deserve their own branch? git cl branch feature-name Stashes everything, creates a new branch, unstashes only that #changelist. Your groupings stay intact, no manual coordination needed. #42-branching-mid-feature-with-git-cl-branch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/BHFock/git-cl/…

git-cl makes file-level partial #Git commits intuitive: 1. Group related files into changelists 2. Stage and commit one #changelist at a time 3. Keep unrelated work separate Commit entire files by logical purpose, not by when you edited them. #41-changelists-as-named-staging-areas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/BHFock/git-cl/…

@milan_milanovic @Milan_Milanovic Great list! Add `git cl br` (from git-cl): Stash all changelists → create branch → unstash your changelist. One command for clean feature branches. github.com/BHFock/git-cl #git #changelist

Most developers use only 5 Git commands Here are 15 more that will save you hours 1. git stash → Save work without committing. Switch branches without losing changes. 2. git reflog → Find "lost" commits. Your safety net when git reset goes wrong. 3. git bisect → Binary search through commits to find bugs. Faster than manual checking. 4. git rebase -i → Clean up commit history before pushing. Squash, reorder, or edit commits. 5. git cherry-pick → Apply specific commits to another branch. No full merge needed. 6. git diff --staged → See what you're about to commit. Catch mistakes before they're saved. 7. git commit --amend → Fix your last commit message or add forgotten files. 8. git reset HEAD~1 → Undo your last commit but keep the changes. Start over without losing work. 9. git clean -fd → Delete untracked files and directories. Fresh slate when you need it. 10. git log --oneline --graph → Visual commit history. See branches and merges clearly. 11. git blame → Find who wrote each line. Track down when bugs were introduced. 12. git show → See full details of any commit. Code changes and metadata. 13. git remote -v → List all remote URLs. Check where you're pushing to. 14. git fetch --prune → Update remote tracking branches and remove deleted ones. 15. git diff branch1..branch2 → Compare two branches. See what changed between them.

@eddiejaoude @razvanmuntian @eddiejaoude @razvanmuntian Add Git changelists to indie hacking? Group files by feature before staging - no messy multi-feature commits. Built git-cl: github.com/BHFock/git-cl #git #indiehacking

I am excited for my coffee chat with @razvanmuntian tomorrow! We are going to be chatting about... ➡️ Being a Digital Nomad ➡️ DN life in Thailand ➡️ High value Discord communities ➡️ Open Source / Indie hacking What else should we discuss?
