Any comment about upcoming Git Rev News edition 108
A currently mostly empty draft is there:
https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/rev_news/drafts/edition-108.md
Feel free to comment in this issue, suggest topics, suggest persons to interview, or use the edit button (that looks like a pen) to edit and create a pull request with the changes you would like.
Let's try to publish this edition around the end of February 2024!
Thanks!

@chriscool I recently learned about https://learngit.io/. It's a course by @jacklot who also made tons of videos about Git on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@themoderncoder. I haven't seen any content of his course, but from the looks it's very thorough. At the moment the course is in early beta access.
I don't know Jack personally, and I'm in no way affiliated with him. It's just something I ran into I might consider interesting to share. But I don't know in which degree you want to endorse this type of paid content.
@To1ne thanks for the suggestion! It looks like we haven't talked about https://learngit.io/ or https://www.youtube.com/@themoderncoder yet. Anyway I will let @jnareb decide on this as he is taking care of the links sections.
@chriscool, just wanted to give a shoutout to gittuf. In their own words:
"gittuf provides a security layer for Git using some concepts introduced by The Update Framework (TUF). Among other features, gittuf handles key management for all developers on the repository, allows you to set permissions for repository branches, tags, files, etc., lets you use new cryptographic algorithms (SHA256, etc.), protects against other attacks Git is vulnerable to, and more — all while being backwards compatible with GitHub, GitLab, etc."
@chriscool, just wanted to give a shoutout to gittuf. In their own words:
gittuf was mentioned in Git Rev News Edition 104.

Oops, sorry for the noise.

Thanks @To1ne for the mention here. LearnGit.io is my attempt at more structured Git learning using the motion graphics libraries I built for my YouTube channel. At the moment it's in early access beta with about 30 users, and to be honest it's still 1-2 months of work away from where I want it to be. Maybe this isn't the right forum to ask this, but I'd be humbled if anyone here might have time to give it a look. I have a decent amount of professional experience, but nothing compared to the expertise of you all here. Shoot me a message and I'd be more than happy to hook you up.
That said if your looking for things to feature in the February edition, TheModernCoder channel might be a nice compliment to the written and interactive resources you've featured in past editions. I've been doing videos there since 2016, but in the past year or so I've transitioned to only making videos about Git. Here's a link to a playlist of just the Git videos.
Either way, I really appreciate you even considering featuring something I've made!
@JackLot I don't have time right now, but I could give it a look perhaps this week-end or next week. Feel free to send me an invite using the email in my profile. Anyway if we decide to talk about LearnGit.io in this edition, maybe we can say that you are interested in receiving feedback from advanced users about it, and that they could get a free invite by emailing you or something like that.
Also feel free to send an email to the mailing list announcing (if possible in a not too commercial way) a free early access invite or something like that for advanced users willing to give you some feedback.
Thanks @jnareb for the links!
https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2024/02/26/gitlabs-contributions-to-git-2-44-0/ might be interesting too.

Thanks @chriscool . Added both in 2184d9b

Looks like LearnGit didn't make the draft. Apologies, I should've provided a blurb to expedite things. If it's too late to make the 108 edition, perhaps next month there will be some room.
Under the "Git tools and site's section" seems to be the best fit:
"LearnGit.io is an upcoming resource for learning Git using videos with motion graphics. The project is by Jack Lot who posts Git videos on The Modern Coder YouTube channel. Looking for intermediate/advanced Git users for feedback. If interested email [email protected].
Supplied a set of tiny changes with 6158632. Reading the support article was fun, reminding me of "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" by Edsger W. Dijkstra, Communications of the ACM 11, 3 (March 1968), pp. 147-148.
@mjaix thanks for your fixes! I also merged 06c68d2441112295bbec392e47cf6647212b3535 that contains @stepnem 's fixes. Thanks to him!
@mjaix and yeah I thought the support article would remind people of that famous Dijkstra's article. (Also I hate goto statements.)
@JackLot thanks for the suggestion. I added it under the "Git tools and site" section in 207311e3e60792dffc88997632373d8a4715d742.
@mjaix and yeah I thought the support article would remind people of that famous Dijkstra's article. (Also I hate
gotostatements.)
Speaking about Dijkstra's article, I thought it may be worth linking to it at the end of the support article and thus suggested the same in the PR #696
Feel free to comment regarding this in the PR :-)
Edition published and announced in: https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAP8UFD2mVOAbP9Rv_+6OXVM_aWi=LMuMX3k+2CJqmTc1arNYog@mail.gmail.com/
Tiny formatting fix in 942d042 (unclosed parent); while at it group links to similar tools together.
@jnareb Just watched Scott's FOSDEM talk, So You Think You Know Git. It was a great watch. Thanks for mentioning it in the edition!
