Mmm yes number go up.

Progress.

Isn't it easier to delete the release? Unless they have no permission to do it I guess

It's a bit trickier since that is a neovim plugin so a bunch of people will automatically have updated to this tag using their plugin manager. Removing it will probably just make it worse.

I forgot the many plugin managers that download stuff directly from github. That makes way more sense.

How do you accidentally force push lol

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I assume the accident was not to force push, but to the wrong branch

I hope they learned the value of protecting your branches.

This is why I always git push origin +branch_name

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My go-to these days is to push the current branch, dynamically.
git push origin HEAD

Depending on the VC, HEAD has different prefix/suffixes to make it work.

Edit: formatting, also I never checkout master I do origin/master so I cannot even push it with this method. I think

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I was wondering the same. Any branch that has any logic besides a ci build attached to it should have been force push protected by default...

Git rebase makes it possible getting used to do so

You guys actually release stuff?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

But why is it a major number?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do they get the numbering system? Is it automatic somehow?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure they just type it in manually. See named tags in git.
