Altering a Gerrit change (git-review workflow)
I don’t use git-review for Gerrit interactions. This is primarily because back in 2012/2013 I couldn’t get git-review installed, and someone presented me with an alternative that worked. Years later I realized that this was actually the documented way of pushing changes to Gerrit. As a little introduction to what this workflow looks, and a…

Small commits
There are many blog posts and articles out there about making small git commits. I’m sure most people (including me) bring up the same few topics around why small commits are good and why we should all probably be making smaller commits. In this post, I’ll look at some of the key topics from my…
Pushing patches to sr.ht git repos

I had to make a change to the library, and this was my first time contributing to a sr.ht repository. The workflow…
My Git Aliases
Overtime key presses really add up, especially when you use certain tools all throughout the day. Here are the bash and git aliases that I use for git to avoid doing some of these keypresses. I’m not sure how many times a day I use these shortcuts, or how many key presses I skip, but…
gitgraph.js and codepen.io for git visualization
I was looking for a new tool for easily visualizing git branches and workflows to try and visually show how Gerrit works (in terms of git basics) to clear up some confusions. I spent a short while reading stackoverflow, although most of the suggestions weren’t really any good as I didn’t want to visualize a…
My Joomla Component development workflow
My first and currently only Joomla component development was for the SWA UK website. The component manages memberships, events, tickets, results and more and is a rewrite of a previous component for Joomla 1. But in this post lets ignore what the component does and instead concentrate the development workflow that is used. After lots of…
Submitting a patch to Mediawiki on Gerrit
I remember when I first submitted a patch to Mediawiki on Gerrit. It was a +12 -4 line patch and it probably took me at least half a day to figure everything out and get my change up! There is a tutorial on mediawiki.org but it is far too wordy and over complicated. In this…
