Michael #1: Git Town solves the problem that using the Git CLI correctly Git Town is a reusable implementation of Git workflows for common usage scenarios like contributing to a centralized code repository on platforms like GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea. Think of Git Town as your Bash scripts for Git, but fully engineered with rock-solid support for many use cases, edge cases, and error conditions.Keep using Git the way you do now, but with extra commands to create various branch types, keep them in sync, compress, review, and ship them efficiently.Basic workflow Commands to create, work on, and ship features. git town hack - create a new feature branchgit town sync - update the current branch with all ongoing changesgit town switch - switch between branches visuallygit town propose - propose to ship a branchgit town ship - deliver a completed feature branchAdditional workflow commands Commands to deal with edge cases. git town delete - delete a feature branchgit town rename - rename a branchgit town repo - view the Git repository in the browser Brian #2: PEP 751 – A file format to record Python dependencies for installation reproducibility AcceptedFrom Brett Cannon “PEP 751 has been accepted! This means Python now has a lock file standard that can act as an export target for tools that can create some sort of lock file. And for some tools the format can act as their primary lock file format as well instead of some proprietary format.”File name: pylock.toml or at least something that starts with pylock and ends with .tomlIt’s exciting to see the start of a standardized lock file Michael #3: git-who and watchgha git-who is a command-line tool for answering that eternal question: Who wrote this code?!Unlike git blame, which can tell you who wrote a line of code, git-who tells you the people responsible for entire components or subsystems in a codebase. You can think of git-who sort of like git blame but for file trees rather than individual files.

I pretended that I had tried pytest-repeat with Python 3.14 and it didn’t work.Test & Code: Python 3.14 won't repeat with pytest-repeatThus, Python 3.14 won’t repeat.Also I mentioned that there was no “rational” explanation.And pi is an irrational number.
