@bcardarella 👀 interesting

The next GitHub won't look like GitHub. If you are trying to build the next GitHub stop making it like GitHub. Hint: Git is distributed.

@appfactory 👀

the only way i'm leaving github is if the original founders create a new one

Don't miss our own @aspleenic speaking on the importance of git at #OSDays in Florence tomorrow!

@tritlo been a while since I saw vimscript. lua is nice, but vimscript was weirdly… simple.

e-ink is so good for being able to enjoy the sun without sacrificing your eyes

also fixed a bunch of annoying forge / integration edge cases: - better handling for multiple self-hosted instances - fixes for GitLab integration loading / ACL errors - etc. github.com/gitbutlerapp/g…

on the CLI side: - `but status` got significantly faster - `but push` now updates the app UI so the desktop state stays in sync - fixed a Windows stack overflow crash (do people use CLI tools on windows?)

⋈ GitButler 0.19.9 is out with faster `but tui`, faster `but status`, and a bunch of quality-of-life fixes this one is pretty nice if you (or your clanker) spend time in the terminal 🧵

Git 2.54 is out and as always, Taylor has written up a great post at: github.blog/open-source/gi… One of the cooler things is the new `git history` command. If you want to see a preview with it's author Patrick Steinhart in our Bits and Booze ep: youtu.be/PsiXflgIC8Q?si…

Recommended listen if you are interested in the future of git in the era of agents, from @chacon's interview with @BornsteinMatt. @gitbutler is a genuinely fresh take on git and a great inspiration for @opentraces as I dive into the rabbit hole of outcome attribution for trajectories. 3 of my takeaways 👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ret…

did I say 3 times? PR says 5, so believe that ;)

in the next gb release `but status` is gonna be 3x faster, thanks to @DavidPdrsn ! github.com/gitbutlerapp/g… ❤️

@rustaceans_rs the 1.95.0 rust release that just dropped is really neat. Hello `Vec::push_mut`! 🥰

Bet on Rust

@icanvardar discord okay to keep? (we use that for working in the open and being closer with the community)

delete slack from your phone

@Cloudflare tried it on the GB docs page only to be shocked how clanker hostile it was! 😱 thanks for the tool, cloudflare ppl! gotta fix it docs.gitbutler.com

Today, we are excited to introduce isitagentready.com — a new tool to help site owners understand how they can make their sites optimized for agents. cfl.re/4tgEUPc

honest question: what do people do during the 5-10 min while Claude is running?

@jayfarei @opentraces looking good!

@opentraces 0.3 is out! Big update: a stronger security pipeline with TruffleHog and LLM review, generation-aware ingest for living traces, line-level attribution + inverse blame with a @gitbutler-style graph, and a full rebuild of both the local web viewer and TUI. The goal: make traces easier to inspect, safer to share on @huggingface, and more useful over time, both for yourself and for others. NB: If you are on 0.2.x, run `ot upgrade && ot setup` Feedback welcome! cc @ClementDelangue @julien_c 🙏

also `but skill install` now lets you pick `.agents`. thanks @adinvadim for this suggestion x.com/adinvadim/stat…

the main bug fixes were related to undo operations and "edit mode" / conflict resolution. check out the full list of changes here github.com/gitbutlerapp/g…

⋈ v0.19.8 - lots of improvements to the TUI (`but tui`) + quality of life improvements. Plus a laundry list of fixes 🧵👇
