  Any developers using bash/zsh shell and git can use this code snippet to effectively git fetch when entering a directory:

  function chpwd {
    GIT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
  
    if [ -n "$GIT_ROOT" ]; then
      FETCH_STAMP_FILE="$HOME/.cache/chpwd_git_fetch_$(echo "$GIT_ROOT" | tr '/' '_')"
      if [ ! -f "$FETCH_STAMP_FILE" ] || [ $(find "$FETCH_STAMP_FILE" -mmin +10) ]; then
        ({ git fetch --all --quiet && touch "$FETCH_STAMP_FILE"; } > /dev/null 2>&1 &)
      fi
    fi
  }

  This snippet acts like a lightweight background updater, seamlessly integrating with your shell navigation to keep your local metadata fresh, reduce manual fetches and out of date merges. #til

  #til Also on the subject of Firefox, there are some amazing #Firefox tab management add-ons out there:

  • Winger -- excellent for those favouring a one window per project workflow.
  • native Tab Groups!
  • Favicon Switcher -- excellent for distinguishing multiple project on the same domain.
  • Keep pinned tabs alive -- always have access to the pinned tabs. Great with Sticky pinned tabs and Toggle pin tab.
  • Select after closing current -- excellent keyboard support on this one.

  Remembered about this hidden browser.compactmode.show Firefox about:config setting, enabled it in Customize toolbar... and added a few tweaks to my userChrome.css file. Considering the browser is open all day for me, it's worth optimising the environment a little for open tabs. #til #firefox

  /* make it easier to find active tab */
  .tab-background {
      &:is([selected], [multiselected]) {
          border-top: 1px solid #444 !important;
      }
  }
  
  /* thinner pins, even in compact toolbar mode */
  .tab-content {
      padding: 0 4px !important;
  }
  
  /* remove space between tabs */
  .tabbrowser-tab {
      padding: 0 !important;
  }
