Safer Git Force Pushing in Neovim

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 11:14:51 +0200

Accidentally triggering a destructive command is one of the worst feelings during daily development. Keybindings that alter remote branch history—like git push --force—should require deliberate intent so they aren’t hit by a stray keypress.

Inspired by a commit in thallada’s neovim-config, shifting keymaps for destructive operations from lowercase to uppercase (<Leader>gf → <Leader>gF) adds a crucial layer of friction.

The Problem with Lowercase Shortcuts for Destructive Actions

When mapping Git commands inside NeoVim, it is common to group them under a <Leader>g prefix:

Git Warning: LF Will Be Replaced by CRLF

Fri, 10 Jun 2022 20:18:01 +0200

I’m using Git Bash while writing this post. I’ve never tested the commands on *nix.

Background

Some of the tags and titles were written as “LateX”/“latex” in the source files. I batch corrected them with Git Grep and GNU Sed.

git grep --name-only -IiE ^-\ latex$'\r'? content/{post,page} | \
xargs -n1 sed -i "s/^- latex/- LaTeX/I"

I tried to match

a leading - using ^-
a whitespace \ escaped by a backslash to avoid wrapping the special character below with double quotes
the string “latex” (case-insensitive)
the carriage return \r, which is represented by $'\r' in bash, for at most once (?)

I observed that wrapping $'\r' with "" would lead to no match.

Merge GitHub Pull Requests

Aim

To merge a pull request.

How?

Let’s take Staticman PR 231 as an example. I would like to test it before commiting this merget to Heroku.

$ cd ~/staticman
$ git branch -a
* deploy
  dev
  master
  ...
$ git remote -v
eduardoboucas https://github.com/eduardoboucas/staticman.git (fetch)
eduardoboucas https://github.com/eduardoboucas/staticman.git (push)
heroku  https://git.heroku.com/staticman3.git (fetch)
heroku  https://git.heroku.com/staticman3.git (push)
...
$ git pull eduardoboucas pull/231/head:deploy

I executed the last command on branch dev. I didn’t have time to figure out the reason for this error. The following commands should work.

Stow Your Dotfiles

Sun, 08 Jul 2018 16:01:22 +0200

I correctly set up the system configuration file manager GNU Stow and the version control system (VCS) Git on my Fujitsu Lifebook so that the former can automatically install system configuration files like modules, whereas the later can track the code in those files.

What I mean for correctly is that in the ssh folder of the remote dotfiles repo, there is neither SSH key files nor entries representing SSH keys in the gitignore file. You may view Jan Uhlik’s dotfiles on GitLab as an example.
