From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Coders, what is your workflow on Linux (sh.itjust.works)

Hello,

I installed Ubuntu a few months ago on my work laptop and I've been running and loving it since.

However, I am used to VsCode, so this is what I am using in Ubuntu as well.

So I am curious, what kind of coding so you do? And what is your workflow.

I am an embedded firware developper and mainly use C. I am cross compiling my code in VsCode for a FPGA from Xilinx (dual core arm + PL)

Never dove into make files and cmake more than what I needed in the past, but I had an opportunity to learn CMake and build a project from it.

So my workflow is :

  1. Code in VsCode
  2. Build in CMake
  3. Transfer the app through scp on the target with a custom script (target is running petalinux, which is yocto + Xilinx recipes)
  4. Use gdb server to debug the code.

It's a pretty simple workflow, but I'd like to know what you guys are running so that I can maybe upgrade my workflow.

I'm also running Ubuntu as my main machine at home. (I have a Mac and do Android development for my day job).

But at home, I do a lot of website and backend dev.

  1. Code in VSCode
  2. Build using docker buildx
  3. Test using a local container on my machine
  4. Upload the tested code to a feature brach on git (self hosted server)
  5. Download that same feature branch on a RaspberryPi for QA testing.
  6. Merge that same code to develop 6a. That kicks off a CI build that deploys a set of docker images to DockerHub.
  7. Merge that to main/master.
  8. That kicks off another CI build.
  9. SSH into my prod machine and run docker compose up -d
