Preamble: We've been running an experimental project to catalog good evergreen guides on DEV. Some initial work is available here if you're curious...

I think Twitter graph would look similar, except the dip would be even more drastic on the weekends.
The reason that is interesting is because :
My Theory
If people aren't at work they don't waste time on Twitter.
Main Point
Twitter is really just people wasting time -- but they aren't wasting valuable time, instead they are just wasting work time.
A lot of platforms will have a dip on weekends (or a rise on weekends, depending on the nature of the space), but here we have a very specific topical dip.
People still do a fair bit of Googling for CSS answers, but barely seek out any git answers. It's not just the absolute dip, but the relative one.
Maybe we can try a different reading?
Maybe the "standard" fall for any technology approach
git
numbers (80-90%) ... while CSS is the one that highlights (falling just 40-50%)? maybe because side-projects trend to need cool shadow-boxes ?Lets turn this thread into a sharing shower and swap git commands:
Here's my favorite by far:
git filter-branch --force --index-filter \
"git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch .idea" \
--prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all
So in many cases, you accidentally committed your secrets or personal config into the app way too early on. Here's what that command does to help:
.idea
filegit push origin --all --force
to overwrite your remote historygit fetch origin
I think they delegate their git problems and workflow to vscode (with or without extension). Think like solving merge conflict and staging hunk of code can be figure out by just right clicking. It even has notification when something goes wrong. The only thing that essential but can't be grasped by exploring the UI alone is how to gpg sign the commit.
All I use in git pull and branch, except for the standard add, commit, status.
Many years ago, I did use cherrypicking, but most projects I contribute to these days have a simpler workflow, even in company, the project management is refined enough that need for cherrypicking, usually means project manager screwed up when distributing tasks.
can we see any proof of data ? for "CSS traffic falls by about 40-50% on weekends. Git search traffic falls by about 80%" in the article ?
Ha, love this tidbit.
What do you mean by "complicated commands"?
Could it possibly mean that people care less about their commit history in personal projects than at work?
Git is a way to collaborate on code
Weekends have less collaboration
Anything tricky with git is probably going to have some collaborative backdrop
