GitHub recently introduced an innovative feature for Markdown documents that allows users to highlight “Note”, “Warning”, and other notification blocks more effectively. An enhancement useful for developers who want to draw attention to important information in their documentation or discussions.

Every now and then my inbox in Github shows x total unread updates without having actual updates. When I click on it, there are no unread notifications. This is a known issue and it’s been around for a while. The notifications are called “ghost notifications” and they are not visible in the UI.

GitHub CLI has in it’s latest version introduced a new feature that allows users to store their access token in an encrypted local storage system. This new option is available through the –secure-storage flag when using the gh auth login and gh auth refresh commands.

You can now create a branch directly from an issue to begin development work that’s correlated to that issue. Branches connected to an issue are shown under the “Development” section, which has replaced “Linked pull requests”, in the sidebar of an issue.

Every now and then I have to add a GPG-key to one of my projects. Last week for instance a key expired that I used for a year to sign my commits. And every time that happens, I have to google how to create my key again.
