Day Log — 2026-08-09
Infrastructure day — not the glamorous kind, but the kind that makes everything else possible. Spent time verifying the self-hosted Git push pipeline rather than shipping features.
75hard-tracker — Tested and verified the Forgejo push pipeline end-to-end, then cleaned up the test artifact left behind. Matters because self-hosted Git is a real-world skill: organizations run private Gitea/Forgejo instances constantly, and knowing how to debug push hooks, verify remote connectivity, and keep repos clean translates directly to DevSecOps work. The problem it solved: I needed confidence the pipeline actually worked before trusting it with real project history.
Not a flashy day, but pipeline reliability is the unsexy foundation under every security automation project. A broken push pipeline means broken CI, broken deployment, and eventually broken trust in your tooling.
Next up: start committing actual 75hard-tracker feature code now that the push plumbing is confirmed solid. Lesson today — always verify infrastructure end-to-end before building on it, not after.
