Git's `fixup!` commits are undersold and underused. I'd love to see more people use them: create messy work-in-progress commits during review, then squash them cleanly before merge—without manually editing the rebase file. Set `rebase.autoSquash true` once and forget about it. 🧵

The nodei.co npm badge generator just got a big makeover. 🎨 No more rasterised PNGs - all vectors now. New shields-inspired styles. Download counts are back. Architecture much simplified for better stability & speed 🤞.

I picked up the domain node.institute a while back, intending to do something fun; but never did. I'm about to let it expire but would prefer it to go to a good home. Email me and make a case if you want it: [email protected].

Quite proud of Polendina, a tool for speedy and uncomplicated browser testing for JavaScript libraries from the command-line. Supports Mocha, Tape and even bare sync and async `throw`ing test runners, plus TypeScript compat & more. github.com/rvagg/polendina
The "Unofficial Builds" @Nodejs project ships some binaries that don't fit into official build set. In unofficial-builds.nodejs.org… there are Node 12.1.0 binaries for linux-armv6l, linux-x64-musl, linux-x86 and an experimental win-arm64 that's making its debut.
