CSS Grid has been the new, cool kid on the block for a few years now. Grid, with its layout algorithm, has given us so many more capabilities in how we can layout and arrange content in our applications.

CSS Grid allows us to define layout patterns in concise and refined ways. That being said, we simply cannot look at CSS Grid by itself without knowing how other key features of modern CSS (like Math expressions) work with CSS Grid. This can allow us to push the boundaries and create more efficient layouts.

These new layout superpowers enable us to start to move past the constraints and limitations that media queries have.

A Better Approach to Merging Files in Git

A Better Approach to Merging Files in Git

Brice McIver Articles, Development Technologies & Tools, Git Leave a Comment

Git has many features, but it’s likely that you only use a small subset on a daily basis. While git tends to handle things intelligently most of the time, there are situations when doing the most obvious thing doesn’t give git enough information to make informed choices.

In this post, we’ll examine one such scenario – merging files. Through trial and error, I’ll show you the normal approach people take, some of the issues that occur with that approach, and a completely different approach that preserves some data lost in the first approach.
