A currently mostly empty draft is there:

Feel free to comment in this issue, suggest topics, suggest persons to interview, or use the edit button (that looks like a pen) to edit and create a pull request with the changes you would like.

Let's try to publish this edition around the end of January 2025!

Thanks!

Here's an analysis of commit subject case across Git history for Git itself that I did today. Might be worth including? No pressure.

[chriscool]

@benknoble, thanks for the suggestion. @jnareb will decide about linking to it.

@jnareb
Here are some links for your consideration:

• How I use git worktrees
• Git Trailers
• Is there a way to split the git history of a file or combine the histories of two files without a merge commit?
• Edit commit message with git reword - (a brief post I wrote recently)

RE: worktrees, Matklad's article on them might be of interest if it hasn't already been shared.

[chriscool]

@benknoble thanks for the suggestion to add MatKlad's article. It was already shared in edition 113 though.

@bpugh thanks for your suggestions!

Let me take a quick look at them (even if @jnareb will decide on this):

• How I use git worktrees : this one hasn't been shared yet
• Git Trailers : this one was shared in edition 108, but it might have been updated last November, so it might be worth sharing it again.
• Is there a way to split the git history of a file or combine the histories of two files without a merge commit? : this one hasn't been shared yet while articles from the same author were already shared (like: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20230728-00/?p=108498)
• Edit commit message with git reword - (a brief post I wrote recently) : this one hasn't been shared yet, and yeah we have already shared articles from you and you have already helped us with links several times, thanks again!
