Last updated on January 21, 2019 by Sal Ferrarello

Never use git push –force. Seriously, don’t use it. You should always use –force-with-lease instead. We’ll look at the problem with –force and how –force-with-lease addresses the issue.

Git Interactive Rebase Order is Wrong

Last updated on January 14, 2019 by Sal Ferrarello

The interactive rebase feature of Git is one of my favorites. I love being able to squash multiple commits into one commit or re-order my commits for clarity. My one complaint is the Git interactive rebase commit order is wrong (at least for the way my brain works).

Last updated on October 22, 2018 by Sal Ferrarello

When I started attending WordPress conferences, I found it challenging to connect with people. Unofficial WordCamp Breakfasts have been a great way to start my day and meet people in small groups.

Last updated on October 15, 2018 by Sal Ferrarello

On Tuesday October 9, 2018 my G Suite Catch-All Email Address stopped working. Fortunately, I noticed rather quickly and found the best way to enable it again was to “turn it off, and back on again”. I’ve made notes about exactly how I did that in case others (or future me), finds it necessary.

I would have told you I was against Daylight Saving Time but thanks to some insightful questions from my boys, I looked more closely at DST and how it impacts my life and now I’m a big fan.

Diminishing Returns and French Fries

Last updated on July 16, 2018 by Sal Ferrarello

When I’m ordering food (e.g. french fries), I often find myself doing the math. For 30% more money, I can double the amount of fries I get (i.e. 100% more fries).

Last updated on July 8, 2018 by Sal Ferrarello

When it comes to adding social sharing buttons (e.g. “Share on Facebook”), I’m a big fan of Scriptless Social Sharing by Robin Cornett.
