  • True. I initially took your post as barking up the wrong tree, since the issue of neglecting animal rights is more prevalent outside of leftism than inside. Caring about progressive issues is something that may come gradually to people. Issue by issue. So I’m a bit reluctant to criticize people that are going into the right direction.

    However, I also believe that this gradual change may come through interaction with posts like yours. So I guess I’m wrong for criticizing it.








  • IMO you shouldn’t use branches for switching between configs. It makes it hard to compose and reuse your configuration.

    Just imagine you have a new config file that you now want to add to all of your machines. You’d now have to commit/cherry-pick on all of your branches. Change that file? Now you have to distribute the changes again and might even get conflicts.

    Additionally, many programs allow you to change your configuration directory via environment variables (usually XDG_CONFIG_HOME , I think). So you can even keep all machine-specifig configuration files in a single repo under different prefixes for those.
