DEV Community: Formerly The Pins Team

How do co-authors can sign commits, for vigilant-mode-enabled GitHub users?

Since re-writing commit histories that are been public is not only discouraged by the Git Book itself, but also disastrous for downstream (aka fork) maintainers and even can be an nightmare since they need to rebase their work first, how do co-authors can safely sign their commits or do they need to do the chaos management regarding that to ensure that it's Verified not Partially verified when someone visits their?

This question assumes that at least one of the co-authors has Vigilant Mode enabled on their GitHub accounts and has at least one GPG key added into their account.

Team Updates — New Twitch channels and more (oh my!)

Team Updates — A new Medium publication, changed publication URL change, and Twitch channels? (oh my!)

Since we rarely post updates about what we’re doing, many things are the things you missed even before the pandemic starts. Don’t worry, we got you covered!

Heads up! We updated this post on 9–1–2020 8:10PM (PH Standard Time) to fix some grammar and browoken link bugs.

🎊 A new publication for Recap Time

Yes, you heard it. We got a new, separate publication for Recap Time. Also, yours truly had made a new publication logo that used for Recap Time, here on Medium, and will be on Telegram, Twitter (and spoiler: Twitch), soon.

That was designed on Canva. Feel free to send us feedback so we can improve it.

As we speak, we’re busy crafting the first issue that we'll release it on January 2021. But if you want a preview, be one of our patrons on Pateron to get exclusive access to our draft. Feel free to subscribe to the newsletter to be the first to read the first issue once it’s out.

ℹ️ OwO, we changed our publication URL for the team blog.

Months ago, we changed the publication name to The Pins Team Blog. On August 8, we asked Medium Support to change our publication URL into medium.com/thepinsteam-blog and they granted our wish, so we thanked them.

🔓We unlocked a special repository in our GitHub placeholder account.

Our special repository contains a list of team members and links where you can find us outside GitHub.

❔ And, Twitch?

Yes, we got two Twitch channels. One for the main channel, and one for Recap Time. We’ll go live soon in the form of test broadcasts to learn how to broadcast. In a meanwhile, follow us there to be the first to get notified.

💬 Leaving Keybase when?

Ryan Lester from Cyph sent us a message thru our yourfriends@madebythepins.tk address, inviting us to leave Keybase and look for alternatives. We’re not yet ready to move out, but we saved our special invite link for later use.

And, that’s it for now. Follow us on Twitter and Telegram for more updates on what we do next. Have a nice day and stay safe!

Handling requests to delete their account & move to the @ghost account for self-hosted Dev.to instances

I have a question on how the admins of Dev Commuity handle these types of account deletion requests. Is there any UI way in the Admin Dashboard to migrate stuff to @ghost and nuke the account in question or should I need database access?
