I prefer writing detailed Git commit messages.

For Pull Requests or Merge Requests with a single commit, I use the commit message as the body of the request.

But using the simple git log command displays the commit message but has some padding/indentation: Output from executing:    git log -1
There is a way to fix this by specifying the format

git log -1 --pretty='format:%s%n%n%b' Image
Explanation for the format provided to git log Image
You can create an alias out of it to either display the last commit message or copy it to clipboard.

alias .lastmsg="git log -1 --pretty='format:%s%n%n%b'"

pbcopy works on MacOS but there are alternative for Linux Image
You can find these short notes on notes.ghinda.com/post/bash-one-…
Yes I prefer to prefix custom bash aliases with a dot. This way I know that they are my custom commands.

I think I got this inspiration from @adrianthedev

When learning #Ruby on #Rails, you might learn RSpec or Minitest, know their DSLs and how to use the them to write model, controller, or integration tests.

There is often a gap in learning how to write good test cases. To address this, I am excited to prelaunch a workshop
What does it mean to test a feature or a piece of code?
How do you know that the tests you wrote will actually catch bugs?
How many tests are enough? Image
I am launching the preview of a workshop that I am creating:
Good Enough Testing for #Ruby Developers

In this works I will focus on the following objectives Image

So let's talk about #testing and #Ruby and specifically about test design.

I think this could be a good conversation to sparkle so I am going to start sharing more about what I think about testing with some focus on Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

I will start with testing guidelines
I think it is important when speaking about tests to think about 3 situations a developer can be when dealing with tests:

1️⃣ Verify requirements/document how it works

That is when writing the feature code and want to verify either (a) requirements and/or (b) document how it works.
2️⃣ When changing the existing logic
When you have a change request and you have to change the code and adapt the tests.

3️⃣ When debugging
When time passes, and you have a bug and want to fix it. The details of both the code and test are fuzzy and there can be time pressure

Ruby is on the rise according to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2023! Here are some insights I extracted from survey results:
In the Most Popular Technology section, Ruby's adoption has grown to 6.23% in 2023, up from 6.05% in 2022. For professional developers, it's even higher at 6.94%
However, for those learning to code, Ruby adoption is slower, at 2.55% in 2023, only slightly up from 2.52% in 2022. The good news is that more beginner-friendly content is being created.

Here is a simple and opinionated way to learn Ruby

I think learning Ruby has three parts:

1. Ruby Syntax
2. OOP + SOLID in Ruby
3. Idiomatic Ruby

What follows assumes you already know how to program in any other programming language.
1. Ruby Syntax:
First, read a bit about the Ruby syntax. You can find a short introduction to Ruby. (shameless plug) I tried to collect a lot of resources here, but you can also find some resources here. Do some small exercises if you feel like it just to get the syntax.
2. Watch some videos of Sandi Metz.
I recommend starting with SOLID Object-Oriented Design by Sandi Metz:

Some things might make sense, some not.
No worries, this is just a kind of preparation for your thinking process about how to code in Ruby.

I created the sixth issue of the @shortrubynews #shortruby

Read the entire issue here: newsletter.shortruby.com/p/issue-6-2022

So here is what happened in #Ruby on Twitter last week
@shortrubynews @justalever @chalmagean shared some topics that a junior developer should focus on along with learning the language or framework:
