auto-update | Automatically keep pull requests with auto-merge | Continous Integration library

I maintain a small repo (about 10 files) on one of my Linux boxes. The files are all shell scripts that I use on the box, and edit (almost exclusively) on the box. I also keep it remotely on GitHub, and update GitHub when I've made changes.

In October last year, there was a minor disaster: A script (not part of the repo) I had written to automate updates to the repo deleted all of the files in my local copy. I recovered from this, and sidelined my auto-update script until I corrected the issue.

Since then, GitHub has added requirements to use a token, or an SSH key for transactions between the GitHub server, and my local box. I added the SSH key recently, and this seems to be working OK.

I mention all of this history because I've just noticed today that there is an odd hidden file in my local repo: .git_old. From the date on the folder, I guess this was created during the restoration of my local repo (a clone of GitHub IIRC).

I have just today made a change to one of the files in the repo, and my (cautious) commit procedure begins as follows:

I would like to create a navigation that scrolls to the specific part and also auto-updates when scrolling up/down.
It should also auto-scroll to the next possible div when scrolling. (this is not that important)

However, it should update on scroll when passing/on the corresponding div. (using jquery or plain js)

I have used this as the backend code for the navigation:

I’m using Expo in the managed workflow. The app is coming along and I’ve added the ability for the app to auto-update itself. I’m using the expo-updates library: https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/updates and the implementation is pretty straightforward.

When our app is opened, our app’s App.tsx runs Updates.checkForUpdateAsync() and then Updates.reloadAsync(). We throw up a brief spinner and 9 out of 10 times the update works just fine. But about 1 out of 10 times the app screen goes white. The iOS header bar with time and Wi-Fi is still visible, but everything else is white. The user has to kill the app and re-open it to resume and now they’re running the latest version.

Unfortunately, this is a difficult issue to reproduce. We can’t do updates in development so we are trying to debug this in our staging environment (a mirror of production). Our repro steps are to push a trivial update to Expo, when the build completes, relaunch the app. We have to do it about ~10 times before we’ll get a freeze case.

The key code is: App.tsx runs:

I have published an app in F-Droid. When publishing the first version, I followed the usual steps, and the app was published from my GitHub release. (The release tag is v1.0).

Now, I have released an update of the app in GitHub (The release tag is v1.x). And I'm wondering if I need to change anything in the F-Droid metadata and create a new merge request again in the F-Droid data repository.

This is the metadata .yml of my app:

I have PowerShell scripts on my machine which call git, i.e. Git for Windows. I also have Cygwin installed, which has a git binary in the main bin folder which it adds to the PATH.

When I'm calling git from these scripts, I want them to use the normal Git for Windows binary. (The cygwin binary won't work, it thinks unchanged files are changed when running "git status --porcelain," I suspect owing to something different about line endings in its global config. That's beside the point.) As a result, I set my PATH to have the Git for Windows binary folder appear before the Cygwin bin folder. This is perfect, the correct binary gets called by scripts and Cygwin can continue existing unperturbed.

The problem is that every time Git for Windows auto-updates, it edits the PATH to remove its entry, then re-add its entry, effectively moving its entry to the end - behind Cygwin in precedence. My script fails a few times until I remember I need to go edit the PATH again.

Is there a way to get the Git for Windows updater to leave the PATH alone, a better way to get the PowerShell scripts to use the correct git binary (without hardcoding the path, the script must work on all developers' machines), or some other workaround?

I have a DateTime object that has been formatted to a string to show only the time. What should I do so that the time auto-updates. Any help would be really appreciated.

This only applies to Visual Studio 2022. I had uninstalled VS2019 and Preview where F# worked absolutely fine (F# 5.0). I am using VS2022 to use F# 6.0 and do not want to go back to F# 5.0.

The issue is specific to F#. I also use C# and I have no issues running the latest C# under VS2022.

There are near continual DevEnv processes running consuming anywhere from 1 to 4 of my CPU's 4 Hyperthreads. I have switched off all experimental options I can find in F# settings.

Sometimes there are 2 or more background processes running , sometimes paused and sometimes none - there appears to be no correlation between this and the background CPU consumption

Sometimes I have a pop up Dialog about waiting to complete an editor process or a compile process.

When devenev.exe is consuming CPU cycles under the properties I see there is always one clr.dllCoUnInitializeEE+0x6790 that is the culprit. I though this was meant to be a short-lived process? Sometimes there are two or three of these consuming most of a HyperThread (There are identical others but with very low or no CPU consumption). The stack on the guilty thread is as follows:

I'm trying to install JDK 17 to macOS BigSur (11.5.2) using brew install openjdk@17

On PyCharm you can right-click a file -> Refactor -> Rename. And it would rename that file and update all import statements in all files in the project.

In VS Code, while I can rename and refactor symbols by highlighting them -> F2, this only works for modules, classes, their members, and variables.

E.g. I have an utils/__init__.py with:
