GitHub: view commits that include images

One of the cool features in GitHub is the way it allows you to compare images. Image your designer created a first version of your new company logo and later he does some small changes. How can you easily detect what’s changed? 

GitHub gives you four easy ways to view changes between image versions: 2-up, Swipe, Onion Skin, and Difference.

Let’s have a look at how this works:

  • Open your GitHub repository
  • Go to Commits

  • Click on the Commit that contains the image change.

  • Now you see the different images next to each other. This is the default 2-up view which lets you get a quick glimpse of both images. In addition, if the image has changed size between versions, the actual dimension change will be displayed. (Hmm, I’m wondering what the designer has changed… Knipogende emoticon)

  • Let’s click on Swipe to switch to another view. This lets you view portions of your image side by side. By dragging the swipe slider you can see the old version transform to the new version.

  • Next one is Onion Skin. It allows you to drag an opacity slider back to see how things have changed.

image

  • The last option is Difference. You have no clue what’s changed? Difference will highlight only pixels that are different between the two images, making it the go-to view mode for finding those single pixel changes in a file.

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
