bfg is not always perfect

When something broken in your git lfs workflow

It is awful when this happened in your packaging procedure. Image that, everything should have been a binary archive being end in a text point file in your installation media.. Nightmare..

So how could it happen?

All begins with a repo optimization..

You have a repo full of binary files, and you want it to be clean and neat.

You know that bfg will help you on the job. And did the convention with some magic file pattern like *.{jpg,png,zip,gz,tar}

Then you replaced the repo, without any sanity test.

Git lfs pointer files begins to show up in your source tree

You got this after every git operation, as the git hooks did not work as expected.

They don’t understand bfg generated filter rules in your .gitattribute file.

Git lfs files shows as modfied after git lfs pull

You know that git lfs pull can help you with pointer file => binary convertion.

But it do not help much, as everything converted shows up as modfied in git status, as the git hooks did not work as expected.

They don’t understand bfg generated filter rules in your .gitattribute file.

Way to rescue

Run bfg with one type of file a time, until all kind of binary files are covered. e.g.

For pattern *.{jpg,png,zip,gz,tar} previous mentioned. Run bfg five times, for each time with only one filetype (suffix).

Use MobaDiff with git difftool

Recently there's an activity in IT that forces the deletion of all unauthorized softwares from all work machines. Unfortunately, kdiff3 is one in the list. As it is generally okay to use vimdiff as an alternative for kdiff3, A gui tool is better suited for desktop workflows. Known that MobaXterm is shipping a gui diff tool named MobaDiff. But it only appears in the windows right click context menu. Find the real application name takes me some time to search in the windows registry. "MobaRTE.exe", which is the one invoked by HKCR\*\shell\MobaDiff. And it was invoked with "-contextdiff" switch to show MobaDiff UI, while when the switch is "-contextedit" it shows MobaTextEditor. Too bad that the "-contextdiff" switch do not support pre-image post-image as other diff tool did, which effectively made it unable to be used as a command line diff utility. Also MobaTech did not mention anything in their document of this Mob...

Eglot and before/after-save-hook and use-package

In Emacs, when you try to automate some actions during every save action, you will surely get to the before-save-hook and the after-save-hook. Simply adding something like gofmt-before-save to before-save-hook will save you tons of time to do the go-fmt. And then, I meet eglot, and gopls will also save me tons of time doing googling and api documentation navigation. But eglot-ensure is not very friendly to the good old ways of how after-save-hooks were designed to work. It makes the before/after-save-hook a buffer local variable and it does not inherit the variable's global value. So, to make before/after-save-hook work again, experts start to adding hooks to major mode specific hooks like this: emacs.md - Go (opensource.google) """ ;; Optional: install eglot-format-buffer as a save hook. ;; The depth of -10 places this before eglot's willSave notification, ;; so that that notification reports the actual contents that will be saved.
