[2019-12-01] how to fix commit messages ?

git commit -v –amend

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2020-01-05 Sun 00:51]

I was thinking that had to do with the “amend” command, but maybe not… https://dev.to/jacobherrington/10-git-tricks-to-save-your-time-and-sanity-289h “This one comes in handy when you accidentally commit something with a typo or misleading commit message.”

State “DONE” from “CODE” [2024-02-24 Sat 02:04]

[2019-12-29 Sun] write-region bug ?

it was ot a bug, the “visit” argument was set to “t” thus the buffer was asked to visit the file… https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-01/msg00040.html

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2020-01-05 Sun 00:45]

(write-region “stuff” nil “/path/to/test.txt” nil t nil t) sometimes, such a one liner outputs itself to the target file. weird.

[2018-11-13] automatically create daily links

moved to a more global item.

State “CANCELED” from “FIX” [2020-01-03 Fri 14:18]

should find the previous folder in the hierarchy, etc.

[2019-12-01] automatically generate “nth day”

I moved that to a more global CODE issue

State “CANCELED” from “CODE” [2020-01-03 Fri 14:14]

nth day is present in the global index and in the daily file I’ll need to put a marker somewhere that I can access through the el file

[2019-12-01] just got bitten by the date edge cases…

Done in the “edge cases” branch, merged into master. Wow, that was long. The code is cleaner now. I need to organize the functions and see how to rationalize that, but overal, it should work.

State “DONE” from “FIX” [2020-01-03 Fri 14:05]

working on that in the edge-cases branch

[2019-12-31 Tue] create “edge-case” branch to work safely :)

State “DONE” from “TODO” [2019-12-31 Tue 19:04]

that’s the whole point of having branches…

[2019-12-31 Tue] reorganise the directory tree

State “DONE” from “TODO” [2019-12-31 Tue 19:11]

the old files go to /cruft for later processing instead of working on “prototype” or “test” files I’ll create branches

[2019-12-31 Tue] reorganize basic css locations

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2019-12-31 Tue 11:18]

[2019-12-30 Mon] add favicon support

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2019-12-30 Mon 23:51]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon And from there: http://faviconit.com/en It took me a while to remember “https://duckduckgo.com/?q=what+is+the+name+of+the+URL+icons+in+the+browser&t=osx&ia=about”…

[2019-12-18 Wed] append the XML to the RSS file

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2019-12-16 Mon 08:58]

[2019-12-01] add a “0” to single digit days in the page title

I externalized the date creation function to check for days < 10 and I had to create a “0 padding” function because number-to-string does not take options to format the resulting string. The function is written in C so way above what I can do…

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2019-12-03 Tue 12:28]

[2019-12-04] add .emacs.d/init.el to git repository

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2019-12-04 Wed 07:40]

[2019-12-02] link to exported org file is not correct

I’m trying to revert that instead of just fixing something that should not have been modified in the first place, but I’m finding the revert function not trivial to use (understand ?). The Magit manual expects the user to understand what a revert is I guess. I’ll have to check the Pro Git book later.

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2019-12-03 Tue 07:04]

[2019-12-01] add web-mode hook for html files

The web-mode manual, or rather home page gives all sorts of relevant settings that I had just to copy to my .emacs.el file to fix this item. http://web-mode.org/

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2019-12-03 Tue 07:04]

[2019-12-01] github contributions don’t appear

State “DONE” from “CHECK” [2019-12-03 Tue 08:16]

registered email problem ? I checked that on 19/12/02, I’ll see later of that works. Ok, I saw that my commit messages included an old email, but I had changed of mail not only on github but also on this machine. So I checked Pro Git and found the following command: git config –list –show-origin and sure enough, that old mail was listed at file:.git/config. It did not occur to me right away that this .git thing was representing the local repository so I had some head scratching moments here but here again, Pro Git had an instance of that string that made clear the parameter was local to the repository, so the fix was to use: git config –local user.email [my email] Et voilà, now I should be able to see my “contributions” to my own repository appear as green dots on my profile. Interesting to see how that little playful option (the green dots) helped me figure out a relatively important issue.

[2019-11-24] customize org export because the HTML is ugly

State “DONE” from “TODO” [2019-12-01 Sun 08:42]

What I don’t like is how the headings are HTML headers. The ToC alone would be sufficient for what I need. I did some css and it looks much better. With lots of room for improvement.
