notwaldorf

Someone sent me an email asking me what advice I had for new developers. I get this question a bunch, so I wanted to put all my thoughts in one place, that I can update as I get more ideas!

I answered this a bunch on my AMA repo, so here's some initial general answers, before I get to some of the specific questions:

• how to find a project to work on: notwaldorf/ama#33
• how I learn: notwaldorf/ama#32
• what to learn: notwaldorf/ama#51
• advice for your first job: notwaldorf/ama#59

git config --global alias.hist "log --pretty=format:'%h %ad | %s%d [%an]' --graph --date=short"
git config --global alias.lol "log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --all"
git config --global alias.mylog "log --pretty=format:'%h %s [%an]' --graph"

To check that they've been added correctly, first run git config --list. You should see something like this in the midst of all your other configuration:

alias.hist=log --pretty=format:"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]" --graph --date=short
