Git.wtf Reborn

I originally built GIT.WTF after getting inspired by what Katie was doing on OhShitGit, I like her idea of having ready to use commands for most common git problems, the only thing I didn't like was that she limited these commands to only a few handful git problems. I WANTED MORE!! and that's where git.wtf came into the picture.

💩 ⁉️ Find solutions to all your git problems along with tips & tricks to improve your git workflows!

I've been working on git.wtf from a long time now, I want a lot of things for it, but the thing I want the most is to genuinely help someone with it. This would give me the satisfaction of spending all those hours on it and knowing that made a real difference for someone.

The iterations I've done so far, I've been a little short-sighted on what this needs to be and what it actually can be. I've been focusing on building a fancy looking blog instead of a resource that helps in finding the best solution out there for all of our git problems.

So moving forward, I'm going to focus on things that matter the most by starting to build new features and re-doing some of the old systems. I already have some plans on how I can make it better but If I'm going to do this right, I'll need every bit of support I can get from the community.

To make this transition simpler, I'm going FULLY OPEN with all my plans, designs, docs, basically, everything I've so I can build a transparent eco-system on how anything is done for this project and what my plans are for the future.

The first of these changes are starting a project on GitHub with all my todo's and plans for what's coming: Git.wtf Reborn Project on Github

Will you meet me? if I were to travel to Europe to explore dev/startup communities!

UPDATE: Hey, if any of you would like to talk with me, please ping me on skype[meSingh90]. Will love to know more about your local dev community and your city.

The short version :

I'm going for WebSummit in Lisbon this November and have been thinking about extending my stay to explore Europe's dev/startup communities. If I were to travel to your city, would you be interested in meeting and sharing some thoughts with me?

The extended version :

I'm always fascinated by the way developers work in different locations, what approaches they take to solve the most common problems, and how they build their systems.

I've been working as a freelance consultant from the last eight years and have been fortunate enough to work with more than 25 startups/companies in different scenarios and engagements. Although most of them have been near my location, still it has been fascinating to see how different they all have been.

Not just how to tackle everyday problems in their business but also how to find solutions (mostly hacks) to fix these problems.

These experiences have taught me a lot in my life, and now I want to expand my horizon and travel beyond my home country to see how developers all over the world do it and maybe work with them to understand them better.

I'm planning to visit Europe this November for WebSummit, and after that, I would love to travel more in Europe to different locations. So, if you can spare some time in November, even for a few hours of the day, please reach out to me. I will plan my trip according to the response I get and would love to meet you all.

BTW: I'm pretty good at #Laravel, so if there are any Laravel communities out there in Europe, I will like to visit them too.
