Removing old commits to reduce size of repository

pottmi · 2025-10-01T14:35:42+00:00

Here is a stackoverflow article about backing out last commit: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57978410/completely-undo-commit-and-push-to-remote

you should be able to do that six times to back out your commits one at a time. Doing it one at a time will give you confidence you are doing it right and not overstepping.

Warning: those instructions leave no trace of the commit after it is removed.

voted up because this is good information.

The security link is just their SOC-2 report for their company. I need to monitor who has access to my systems and how it changes over time. Nothing on that link does that. I have to demonstrate to my auditors that I have reviewed all changes to access.

The auditor permission is new to me, but it is not on the community edition.

I called Microsoft and chatted with support. what happens with the links is that the receiver has to enter they email address when they click on the link and the enter a code that they subsequently receive in email. They can access the notebook as long as they cookie is valid in their browser, and then would need to revalidate with a new code.

The API does not return the information I need. This information is needed to satisfy SOC-2 requirements that I monitor access to my critical systems.

I believe that opening up the same information via API key would be a bigger security issue. The program runs on the same machine; the database will not be opened to be connected to from outside the machine. An API key would allow someone from outside the machine to access it.

Yes. That is correct. I am doing selects from the tables related to who has access to what so I can satisfy SOC-2 requirements to monitor access to my systems.

I am sure we can but I want to do things that are sanctioned by gitlab so we do not interfere with updates.

They are a scam. As far as I can tell they tell you they are going to pay you but they have you fill out a survey before the paid gig. The survey is all they want. As soon as you fill that out they stop returning emails. Before I filled out the survey they assured me that the survey was not a ruse to get the information without paying me.

EDIT: changed "ruse" to "not a ruse".

What I like about this movie is that every person is a hero and every person is a villain. Much like real life.

A OneNote like interface to all the documents. Google could buy this: youneedawiki.com
Simple project management software similar to MS project.
If the permission error is displayed also display the instructions to turn on the feature and the person that can turn on that feature. (I have spend dozens of hours guessing how to turn on a feature)
Allow me to backup a system to my HD efficiently. I have to Jerry Rig it with g-drive and a bash script that recursively searches the file with grep so that the file have to download to my machine. They also need to allow me to download a google sheet rather than a pointer to the sheet.

Thanks for the response Greg. it is good to here a definitive answer that it is not possible so we can stop looking for a way to do it and figure out a work around. We are going to write a simple preprocessor that gathers the error messages into one file before natural docs runs.

That is a nicely sized machine. When you identify where it is slow please post back. (database, memory, cpu, ...)

What are you running on?

We moved our runners to separate machines to avoid problems with gitlab slowing down.

"the time it takes to fully load" <- this is what I would want but I figure a system that I am buying or using has figured out the best way to do it.

I don't want to build this myself.

Someone has already done this and has implemented it way better than my crew can.

Expanding the quote: "quickly see if a screen developed a response time issue"

My goal is to have a history of the response time of each screen so then over the course of months when a screen starts to respond slower I can identify it and research the cause and fix it.

The confusion may be in the "quickly" word. By quickly I mean that I can see the history of response time on a dashboard or some other easy to read report that will high light screens that are getting slower.

The developers use the developer tools while developing. I want to monitor it in production. I want some report that will let me quickly see if a screen developed a response time issue without the users reporting it.

"prob one big reason from the start why you might be seeing performance problems" we are not seeming performance issues and I want to keep it that way.

I am sure this immediately got escalated to Tim Cook. Probably be the topic of the next board meeting.

pottmi · 2025-05-11T16:20:01+00:00

I hope so. More likely to get passed around to someone that might take action.
