@ghickman it's a bit of a click bait title, but the number of times someone new to Django has messed up their migrations by fiddling in an external tool... It's a clear 🤦 from me

Hey folks,

I have availability for a new client. I specialise in #django as backend and can deal with any frontend. Or if nothing exists I am quite happy to come in a build something from scratch.

I work on a fractional/part-time basis.

Drop me a line or book a call via my site (see my profile)

#Appreciation for @carlton today. I have recently opened an issue and a PR on his repos and the responses have been of kindness and thoughtfulness to my potential ramblings (especially the issue I raised then closed!)

Keep it up!

I am still setting up my new laptop, I'm taking my time and also not trying to be overwhelmed by getting a proper dotfiles repo setup.

Three questions that come to mind:

  1. Any recommendations for dealing with credentials (typically some form of API key) that live in config files that I would want to live in my dotfiles repo

  2. Similarly for transferring SSH keys.

  3. What do mac users do for local files that aren't in some form of git repo (pdfs, office files, etc) Migration Assistant?

@webology Perfect! I don't use 1Password, but I imagine the bitwarden-cli will do similar

What tools/processes do people recommend for cleaning out the cruft from my current machine and then transferring everything to the new one?

@carlton Looking forward to it!

Perhaps a blog post or two afterwards of the process from package creation to merge would help others?

@webology @bmispelon ah coverage yes that would help.

I get the feeling like my idea might be packaging up a suite of existing hacks and tools

this unnamed codebase lacks any reasonable tests and I haven't yet pushed hard enough to make it a priority. Ideally I want to remove the cruft before I write them.
