Recently, Chinese developers logging into GitLab Global (gitlab.com) were shown a notice titled 'Important Change to Your GitLab.com Account'. The gist: individuals and organizations in Mainland China, Macao and Hong Kong need to migrate their accounts to GitLab China (JiHu) within 60 days, after which the accounts will be deleted.
On November 19, GitLab JiHu published 'Notes on GitLab.cn SaaS feature adjustments': all accounts will be set to a 90-day trial. If a user doesn't upgrade to a paid plan (Premium or Ultimate) within the free 90 days, the account will be barred from logging into the SaaS when the trial ends. User data won't be deleted immediately — it will be retained for three years, then permanently deleted.
One thing I have to rant about: I see tons of Merge commits in projects, but that's not how Merge is meant to be used. Most of the time, you should be rebasing.
As you keep using Git, understanding how it actually works makes many problems easier to grasp — rebasing, divergence, and so on. I recommend every Git user understand how Git works. Understand it — no need to master it. So a light read is all you need, and I won't go deep either.
In everyday development, as a tech manager I keep seeing developers who freeze up on conflicts or even lose code, commit histories flooded with Merge commits, careless and chaotic commit messages, and so on. So I want to write this series to help developers use Git quickly and gracefully.
Ever wondered how Git and JH GitLab work? Now grab your favorite IDE and set off on an exploration with us.
Hey there. Do you want to take part in building the JH GitLab open source project and become a contributor, but as a newcomer you have no idea where to start? The truth is, anyone can join the JH GitLab open source project and become a contributor — technical background not required.
Many people don't know grassroots webmasters exist. I got into the website-building scene back in high school, and I'm one of them. Our crowd runs personal sites, personal blogs, hobby-sharing sites — we're basically the bottom layer of the internet, mostly gathered around shared interests, and most of us will never make a cent.
The entire organization can be commanded up and down through the mysterious API department. It speaks multiple official languages: REST API and GraphQL API. We'll start with REST. Before we begin, we need to apply for a token on JH GitLab — only a valid token lets you issue commands to this mysterious API department.
You're so eager to learn, fine, I'll tell you: our JH GitLab association can audit vulnerabilities for you too. In the Security Hall there are security masters who can scan the manual you wrote, covering Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning, Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), dependency scanning, container scanning, and more.
