Git Reflog shows you a lot about what's going on in your Git repositories, and let's you clean them up better than other commands can. In this, short-ish post, I'm going to give you a good introduction to it, and show you how to completely remove a commit from your repository, so that no one can ever recover it.

Recently, I implemented a small web application in PHP, Rust, Go, Python, Ruby, C#, and Java. In this article, I'm sharing some of what I learned during that process.

As part of learning Rust — and being a lover of documentation (I 💕 the docs) — I've been learning how to document Rust code. Here’s what I’ve learned so far.

Viewing diffs and moving changes between the index and staging area is a routine task when working with Git. So, when doing that, is it quicker and easier to do that on the command line or with a GUI?

Last week, I shared a post on LinkedIn showing four benefits of accessible website design. It's something that I've been meaning to share for some time. Here's why I shared it.
