I have a project with a bunch of compose files that define the services I self host. I "deploy" the project by sshing into my server and doing "git pull" which means I'm often making changes that don't get tested before committing to source control. As a result I have long chains of commits like:

  • refactor the sproingy widget
  • refactor the sproingy widget v2
  • refactor the sproingy widget working
  • maybe the sproingy widget works this time?
  • ok finally found the issue with refactor sproingy widget
  • fix formatting of sproingy widget

And now I'm wondering if I've been an llm this whole time

    Make your changes in a new branch and rebase/squash when you push it to main.

    This also means modifying your git pull command to pull the correct branch. A small change perhaps, but may be harder than just committing to main lol.

    I had a similar problem with GitHub actions, it was hard to test without messing up the main repo history.
