A: How do I make Phosh consider my app "mobile friendly"? For store metadata, you'd be looking for the Device Support section of Flathub's documentation. Notably the `touch` control: ```xml keyboard pointing touch ``` and the display size ```xml 360 ``` Hopefully, that gets you what you need. If not, there are some older (perhaps de... (more) |

While Karl is correct, I think Lundin must have gotten a flag in before the spammer finished their bombing run.
I like Trich's idea, but we should weigh the possibility of a malicious existing user DOSing someone else. Maybe our old friend Wilson Score is a part of this? (more) |

Configure Git branch to push to different remote than it pulls from As a loose follow-up to Why force designation of a remote main branch?, is there a Git-native way to configure a branch for GitHub's so-called "triangular" workflow? The triangular workflow is meant for synchronizing upstream branches, namely abbreviating this: ```sh git switch main git p... (more) |

A: How do I split a feature branch into two? In the most general case[^cheats] that you're asking about, you want the three-term `rebase --onto`. First, make your `feature-2` branch: ```sh git switch --create feature-2 ``` ```text --A--B--C main \ `Q--R--S--X--Y--Z feature-1, feature-2 ``` Next, move `feat... (more) |

How do I split a feature branch into two? I just realized that I started writing code for what was going to become a second independent feature on the branch I was already working on. ```text --A--B--C main \ `Q--R--S--X--Y--Z feature-1 ``` How do I split my work into two different branches diverging from `...

A: Python-compatible regex for Markdown tables You won't be able to do it for arbitrary length tables in a single regex matching the whole row. Capture groups are replaced when repeated. So any `\| (?:(celltext) \|)+` expression[^ws] will wind up with the capture group `\g` as the last cell's text. Instead, you'd have to send, say `\|? \t[... (more) |

Could you map the divergence points as distinct nodes? Like this pseudo-code:
```
Me -> Me_origins[shape=point] -> {Mom, Dad}
Mom -> Mom_origins[shape=point] -> {Memaw, Poppop}
Dad -> Dad_origins[shape=point] -> {Grandma, Grandpa}

That works fine for the YAML file, but I want a method (`{?fileviewer}`?) to do it for, say, https://bitbucket.org/dismine/valentina/src/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#CONTRIBUTING.md-5

Link to Markdown line on Bitbucket Is there a way to link to specific code lines for a Markdown file[^files] in Bitbucket?

Interestingly, using various values for `?viewer=`... (more) |

The "Sign Out" button used to be a little door with an arrow. I think someone complained about that, and it was changed to the much larger text. I can't find the thread just at the moment. (more) |

A: GitHub action triggered by somebody else's repository Facing a somewhat similar situation, I took mr Tsolder's suggestion of looking into submodules. In my case, it was fine to keep the remote project as a folder in my local clone, but I think it still works if you don't want the copy in your worktree. Just `git submodule deinit` Joseph Wright's ... (more) |

For what it's worth, this ending up pushing me down a path wherein I (who also wanted something like this) converted the external repo to a submodule. I have Dependabot configured to make PRs when it notices that that repo has updates.
Then, I can test the changed dependency, make sure my code... (more) |

It sounds like one of the [submodule configurations][sm] lets you do that:

If you go that route, you can probably have a branch from root in Beamer Theme that Probot interacts with and triggers analysis of your *other* branch with the actual theme. (more) |

Yeah, no worries. Groups are really helpful for lots of things! Learning regex is really worthwhile!
I just wanted to caution you that if this is supposed to be part of a generic Markdown tokenizer, you will eventually run into gnarly situations. (more) |

A: Python re.sub() how to include and slice the match in the substitution? To answer your immediate question, use a capture group. ```py re.sub(r'(?\g', testString) ``` With that out of the way, text parsing for a language is probably best served by an existing library. For instance, `r'(?<!\\)\(.?)\(?!\\)'` is probably meant to be `r'(?<!\\)\(.?)(?!\\)\'`... (more) |
