A: Why force designation of a remote main branch? These are my theories, but I'm not particularly excited about either of them. Something to see They need something to show when you visit the website's index. Otherwise, `https://www.github.com/you/your-fork` is a really boring page. On the other hand, maybe it should be a boring page.... (more) |

| Question | — |
Why force designation of a remote main branch? GitHub seems to require that one of the branches on it be marked as the "primary" branch. I understand this (perhaps mistakenly) to be the `origin/HEAD`. Why would they make it compulsory? On forked repositories, I'm usually making branches and submitting pull requests. There's not really a "m... (more) |

A: How to handle correct answers that also include spam? I think this is a judgment call. - If the answerer appears to be a human, you can caution them with How We Do Things Around Here and edit the answer. - If they do it again (and this user has), nuke 'em. Maybe it's feasible to dissociate the post to the Community user or something. Maybe it'... (more) |

A: Get the name of the remote tracked branch of my local branch for use in script I'm not exactly sure what you want with the whole of `rd`, but > …programmatically get the name of the remote branch which my local branch is tracking… sounds very much like the `@{upstream}`/`@{u}` shortcut. You can provide a branch before it to refer to the tracked remote o... (more) |

Thanks! I kept searching for the `advice.*` variables to turn off the hint, but I didn't think to check the output stream itself.
I think I'm going to use this but move the editor assignment in the CLI config override like I have it in OP.

A: Get global gitconfig path With help from hkotsubo in the comments, it seems you can follow the behavior described by Git's documentation. This will work until they change it, at least for your \Nixes and \BSDs: ```bash path="${XDGCONFIGHOME:-$HOME/.config}/git/config" [[ -f "$path" ]] && echo "$path" || echo "$HOME/.... (more) |

Get global gitconfig path Is there a command I can run to get the path of global `gitconfig` for a user? Like `git config --global --edit`, but I want the path, not an editor window. I want the right path whether or not this file already exists. i.e. I want the path that Git will use, even if this is a brand new system... (more) |

Haha. And I forgot that if you omit the branch name, it just assumes you mean your `HEAD`. Good reminder! (more) |

I would 100% use the syntax from the top of this answer, but it *is* possible to generalize it.

A: C#: Performance hit from using calculated property instead of get-only property with initializer? You're right about the recalculation, as you can see from some easy experimentation by rigging two (dynamic) properties and logging what each one gives you. ```csharp public long TimeStamp1 { get; } = DateTime.Now.Ticks; public long TimeStamp2 => DateTime.Now.Ticks; Console.Log(Foo.TimeSt...

My personal suspicion is that ReSharper thinks most people _meant_ to have dynamic resolution of the property getter. ReSharper would then expect people to be _surprised_ to discover that the initial value is never changed. (I can submit this as an answer if that's useful.) (more) |

Try it with dynamic values and see what happens. Then you can answer your own question.
```csharp
public long TimeStamp1 { get; } = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
public long TimeStamp2 => DateTime.Now.Ticks;
Console.Log(Foo.TimeStamp1);
Console.Log(Foo.TimeStamp2);
Thread.Sleep(3000);
Console.Lo... (more) |

A: After git fetch, how to fast forward my branch? The answer by hkotsubo is correct. But just in case you're being very specific about fast-forwarding, it's worth stressing that you can use `--ff-only` as an option on the merge to abort if it requires a merge commit. ```sh git merge --ff-only origin/branchname ``` Where is this useful?
