Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

There are also a ton of GUI clients for git. I like the ones that don't try to do too much so I know what git commands are getting issued. They are very useful for dealing with situations where you want to cherry-pick specific files for a commit or stuff like that. One client I really like is just the one built into Visual Studio Code: simple and straightforward. I also really like gitg but that might be a Linux only thing.

Hey. New board.

For GitHub specifically, the desktop GitHub app is pretty good too.

I have used GitHub quite a lot but kind of forget every time I take a week or so away. I've found this very useful: [link]

My computer is pretty good at multitasking.

I just upgraded my computer and starting using it and things like GIMP starting instantly are happening now.

What hardware are you using, Gud? I've been thinking of upgrading myself.

I just upgraded to a Ryzen 9 3900X which is a 12 core processor. Since I already had an AM4 socket motherboard (X390 chipset)all I had to do is pop in the new processor.

Ah, I've been looking at a whole new build with a Ryzen 7 2700X.

Go with a 3000 series if possible, the architecture is much improved.

Hey. New board.

Anybody know anything about setting up really basic Selenium tests to run in Travis CI? I have students submitting some very basic typescript projects where they essentially uses textboxes, buttons, and divs to send input and output back and forth, and I want to automatically check if they've satisfied requirements on GitHub. I'm pretty sure I know how to set up the Selenium tests locally, but am having trouble figuring out if I can do it on Travis (I have an educational plan so should have free access to a lot of Enterprise features).
