Rebasing all relevant pull requests on a Github repo

If you chose rebasing as your primary git workflow strategy, it becomes important to keep your feature branches updated. Out of the box, Github offers automatic rebasing on many Dependabot pull requests. Dependabot PRs can be further rebased semi-automatically using the @dependabot rebase command issued in the comments.

name: Rebase
on:
  schedule:
    - cron:  '40 7 * * *'

          # token: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }} 
          # exclude-drafts: true …

Moving from Jekyll to Octopress

Hi again. Today I can proudly say that I was productively procrastinating! As you might know, my “Deep dive into Linux” journey has just began and today it saved me at least few hours.

While cleaning up my 1TB drive residing inside my desktop to make sure that all junk is removed whereas all important files are properly backed up to the cloud, I noticed that inside my old website folder there were at least 7 backup archives which were almost identical. They were consuming a lot of space and since going to the university I’ve being actively using …
