• 14:56 UTC (new) 2024-05-27 Git mailmap file . . . . mbork – As everybody knows, Git has a lot of obscure commands and options. Today I’d like to write about one of them (which incidentally I mentioned two weeks ago). You can put a file named .mailmap at the top level of your Git repository, and have various names and/or email addresses mapped to a “canonical” names and addresses.

• 17:21 UTC (new) 2024-05-20 Org-clockify . . . . mbork – A long time ago I mentioned that we use Toggl in the company I work for. Being the (sole) Emacs user in the company, I (of course) use Org mode clocking features, so I wrote a simple integration for Toggl. In the last few weeks, I played around with another time-tracking tool, Clockify. (Don’t get me started on the name, which is horrible to search for.) Of course, again I decided that I need to bridge the gap between Org mode and Clockify, and a simple global minor mode was born. It is rather bare-bones, but this is exactly what I needed. Feel free to expand it if your needs are greater.

I wanted to know (approximately) how much each of the participants contributed to the final product. Since we tracked it in Git, the information is obviously there – for example, I can run git blame on every file in the project and see which line was contributed by who.

• 07:59 UTC (new) 2024-05-04 Pretty printing SQL . . . . mbork – I work with PostgreSQL on a daily basis, and I often share queries with my teammates. I like to show them nicely formatted queries instead of the mess I sometimes write;-). A bit surprisingly, I had troubles finding a nice SQL pretty-printer/formatter.
