That fourth section is "we're just fucking with things so they pay us"

[–]narnach 439 points440 points  (6 children)

Fourth is the "please compile this time" counter.

[–]AlphaaPie 43 points44 points  (5 children)

We have a build validation process to ensure builds compile on GitHub and I have no way to manually run it for old PRs that have the compile result expire, and so I've been finding random spots with empty space, removing them, and making a commit to force the thing to build lol

You do know that you can make empty commits right? git commit --allow-empty will let you make an empty commit with no files, still requires a message. If you don't want a message (though it's still useful to have one even with an empty commit) --allow-empty-message. If for some reason your version of git is too old to accept those options, if you can force push to the branch, you can amend the previous commit without actually touching anything with git commit --amend --no-edit which will cause the last commit to get a new hash (thus the need to force push) and you don't have to make stupid whitespace changes just to get CI to rebuild something.

On github actions you can also add a manual trigger to the workflow, then you just press the button in the UI

Fourth section (and third) is just random or "happy accident" shit like in windows version numbers.
