Gerrit vs Github: for code review and codebase management

Sure, Github wins on the UI. Hands down. But, despite my initial annoyance with Gerrit when I first started using it almost a year ago, I am now a convert. Fully. Let me tell you why.

Note: This is an opinionated (on purpose) piece. I assume your preferences are like mine on certain ideas, such as:

• Fast-forward submits to the target branch are better than allowing merge commits to the target branch. The reason I personally prefer this is that, even if a non-conflicting merge to the target branch is possible, the fact that the review/pull request is not up to date with the latest on the target branch means feature branch test suite runs in the CI pipeline reporting on the review/PR may not be accurate. Another minor point is that forced merge commits are annoying as fuck (opinion) and clutter up Git log histories unnecessarily and I prefer clean histories.
• Atomic/related changes all in one commit is something worth striving for. Having your dev

Exporting a Networkx graph as a Cypher query

This little project defines a function that can be used to construct a Cypher query which when executed against a Neo4j database server will store the graph to the server.

Background

• A Graph is an abstract mathematical model composed of Nodes connected through Edges that can be used to describe complex systems composed of a set of parts (corresponding to nodes) and their connections (corresponding to edges).
• Examples of graphs are road networks (junctions connected via roads), electronic circuit networks (components and their connections) and others
• Networkx is an excellent Python module for manipulating such Graph objects of any kind.
• Neo4j is a graph database. It uses the Graph as a data model to store such objects to a data store.
