124 gitStream (Way Faster ColdFusion Git Merging) with Luke Kilpatrick

Luke Kilpatrick talks about "gitStream (Way Faster ColdFusion Git Merging)" in this episode of the ColdFusion Alive Podcast with host Michaela Light. "We'll talk about cool things you can do with Git to speed up your whole merge process using a new tool called Git stream." Show notes What is Git? Why should all CFers be using it? Top CF source control software GitHub was is made by Microsoft now GitLabs What are Branches, Pull Requests and Merges Branches of the code tree Code edit conflicts - merge required Most edits in different parts of the code base usually don't need a merge with humans Risk of breaking the build CI - Continuous Integration CD - Continuous development - automated testing (TDD) Pull request (PR) is the request to do the merge + code review More rapid deployment cycles on the cloud Why do Merges suck in most companies? Waiting on humans to do the code review, who is best to review this change? Getting up to speed on that particular part of the code and why the change was made How does gitStream help? It analyses the pull request Uses CM YAML file to decide Types of change Small change - auto-approve Standard change - who will review Critical change - to core code Who is the best person to review Tags the PR Compare to triage at hospital ER department Ideal Small branches Fast PRs PR 100% faster (average time from 7 days to 3.5 days) Visibility and statistics on merge times gitStream features Triage of PRs Estimated time to review Works with VS Code Stateful labels, color coding What does gitStream cost? gitStream is free for all Reporting etc is free for upto 8 developers Paid Entreprise features beyond this https://linearb.io/pricing/ Hack-tober fest support for spam PRs Is this just for commercial repos or can open source projects use it too?
