My favorite is git h, which produces a nicely summarized log of commits on the current branch, with some highlighting and relative dates:

[alias]
    h = log --graph  --abbrev-commit --date=relative --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset'

What's your favorite Git alias?

Having spent time with Kotlin's by lazy, I really like the lazy item.

Most of the others I don't have strong opinions about, yet.

Cross-posting this from !sql@programming.dev

textual is about the neatest Python library I've come across lately, allowing you to quickly build TUIs (textual user interfaces).

textual provides the building blocks to build beautiful interfaces fast, that work on systems with low resources, across platform, and even run across remote SSH sessions.

They've got a nice tutorial as well as a growing Discord community. Be sure to at least check out their demo and examples.

Link your favorite Python conference talk and give everyone else a chance to be blown away like you were the first time you heard it!

Please also include some description of what you liked about the talk. Also, the only requirement is that it is at least tangentially related to Python, so talks about developing in Python, developing CPython, general programming techniques that also apply to Python, some Python library, or even the community are all fair game.

Also, feel free to submit more than one talk, but please include only one talk per top-level comment so that we can have a place to discuss each one.

Yay or nay, memes should be allowed in !python@programming.dev ?

One thing I noticed about communities I've been part of in the past is the regularly asked question, "what podcast does everyone listen to about ?"

So, I thought I thought we could get ahead of that question here and start building a new tradition that I call, for lack of a better name, Media Monday. For now, I'll list episodes from the last week or so of the podcasts I know.

I'm sure I'm not tuned in to everything, so please don't hesitate to give suggestions. And, as the name implies, it doesn't just have to be podcasts, feel free to also suggest newsletters and vloggers/streamers.
