How to Merge Git Release Branch with both Master and DevelopĪlso Read: Solved: "error: src refspec master does not match any" when using git push Step 1: PrerequisitesĪ) You should have a running System(in my case it is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) with git package installed.ī) You should have access to clone the Repo.Ĭ) You should have commit access to master and develop branch. So that both master and develop contain the same files. So once my release branch is ready to merge because the deployment can only happen from master as per our branching strategy so we need to first merge release-1.0.1 branch with master and then with develop. Along with that it also contains all the changes that we need to add in the next release. Here release-1.0.1 branch is created from develop. But since master is critical for production so all the release branches starts from develop. In other words, develop is the exact replica of master. Usually develop and master branch contains the same files. In my Lab setup, I have three branches in Bitbucket - release-1.0.1, develop and master. So it is utmost important to run all the steps accurately to avoid any unforeseen error. ![]() While the above steps looks quite simple but sometimes implementing this can be quite challenging in a real environment where you might encounter few issues. So the next time, when you are working on a hotfix or on a release or feature then you can start working by just creating a branch from develop. Once all the testing is completed and it is ready to be promoted in production then you need to first merge your release branch with master and then later with develop. Or the other way is that you can just create a branch from the latest commit of the test branch and later edit the commit message as per your needs by doing it this way you can have just a single commit which will be the latest commit from the test branch.If you are following a branching strategy in which you first start working on a release by creating a release branch from develop and then deploying your release branch in pre production environment post approval. So by doing this i think it might help you to satisfy your needs. You could actually delete everything, and write only one line of the commit message you want to show after merging into staging branch. Once the staging branch is created you will now need to merge the changes of testing branch to your staging branch.Īn editor should be popup with all the commit logs, and files changed from test branch. git checkout -b staging (from master branch) So what is the first step you should do is to create a new branch named staging in your case from the master branch.ġ. So now the staging branch that needs to be created should be the same as your master branch. So as of now you have three branches where in which now you want to have staging branch as the intermediate between the master branch and the test branch. ![]() Hi your need is that you have some messy or some commits which you don't need to be mentioned or displayed. ![]()

![]() Please note that you will need to provide a full and coherent brand identity for me to work with (your logo, logo variations, exact colors, and exact fonts). + I have a logo and visual brand that I love - can I hire you for just website design and copywriting?Ībsolutely! I can implement an existing brand onto your website while still offering every other component. If you don’t have photography, I’m happy to provide guidance and references for photographers that will be a good fit for your brand. I can easily set up a new domain for you through Squarespace as a part of the process. + What if I don’t have a domain name or brand photography? It will be your responsibility to respond with any revision notes in the timeframe that is outlined, in order to keep the project moving forward on schedule. Set up the Site Kit plugin for your WordPress site by obtaining credentials for your Google Cloud Platform project. I’ll provide a clear project timeline with benchmark dates for presenting each stage of the project for your review. After this onboarding stage, you’ll need to provide access to your website domain name and your brand photography files. Being as detailed and thoughtful as possible at this stage will help me build your brand and website in complete alignment with your ethos and goals. When we begin the project, you’ll be responsible for filling out my comprehensive Brand Identity Questionnaire. There is always clear communicaton, transparent timelines, and collaborative sessions. Each step of the process will be presented to you for approval before moving on to the next stage. From there, I’ll design your Brand Identity, develop your website, and write your website copy. We’ll walk through your business goals, I’ll ask detailed questions to understand your brand values and personality, and do research on your industry and market. My process removes these responsibilities and stressful deadlines. There’s often a lot of back-and-forth communication, and any delays on your end can hold up the entire process. ![]() You’re on the hook for writing the text for your entire site, providing photos, and typically you’re also responsible for having your logo, brand colors, and font choices ready to go before the site design process even begins. Whether you’re just getting started or you’re already an expert, you’ll find the resources you need to reach your next breakthrough. The typical website design process has a bunch of moving parts that you’re responsible for managing. We’re making tools and resources available so that anyone can use technology to solve problems. The truth is that all three of these components are equally important for creating an effective website that generates sales and creates loyal customers. So they'll invest in hiring an expert for only one of these areas - or try the ineffective DIY route. Many businesses simply don't have the budget to hire a website designer, a brand designer, and a copywriter. I’ve designed this package to be as effortless as possible and offer the best return on your investment. + What makes this offering different from other website design services? ![]() ![]() George Gissing, in his essay on "Oliver Twist," wrote that "the novelist's first duty is to make us see what he has seen himself, whether with the actual eye or with that of imagination, and no one ever did this more successfully than Dickens in his best moments." Polanski's "Oliver Twist" has that same fevered veracity. Nothing in this movie condescends to young imaginations, no treacle coats the imagery. Polanski has said that he wanted to make a film that "his kids could somehow identify with." He must respect his children a great deal, because he has fashioned a movie that gets very deep inside the terrors and frailties of boyhood. ![]() ![]() (His parents were deported from Krakow's Jewish ghetto to Nazi concentration camps). In a way, it's as personal a film as "The Pianist," and I would guess for the same reason: It taps into his own memories of childhood abandonment. So it's no surprise (at least to me) that his "Oliver Twist" is altogether remarkable, a near-masterpiece. And Polanski, as "The Pianist" so fervently demonstrated, has a vast fund of human sympathy. Dickens, of course, although addicted to the cause of happiness, is among the darkest of novelists it's no accident that Dostoevsky was profoundly influenced by him (especially "Oliver Twist"). These judgments reflect a fundamental misreading of both Dickens and Polanski. Why produce yet another version of this old warhorse, which has already been adapted more than 20 times for film and television? Besides, with his mammothly coincidental plots and two-ton sentimentality, isn't Dickens hopelessly out of fashion - especially for a twisted cynic like Polanski? When it was first reported that Roman Polanski would be following his Oscar-winning "The Pianist" with an adaptation of Charles Dickens's "Oliver Twist," a collective groan went up among the cognoscenti. ![]() ![]() To rename, right-click on the drive in the left sidebar of finder and select the option to rename.

I looked at my face as I pulled different expressions to see where the eyes, mouth and eyebrows move.Kawaii faces practice sheet by Zainab Khan.But if you normally shop somewhere else, it's totally ok too. If you buy anything using my links, Amazon will pay me a small commission (no cost to you - thank you!). But this week I came to appreciate, that in a pen tightness = precision :).įull disclosure: I personally own and use all of these. When I first tried it a few weeks ago, I thought it felt too tight. I usually use the Artline pens to draw, but this week I found I needed more precision to draw the eyes and other small details. Just draw different eyes and mouths, combine them and see what works. Keep a visual diary of the cute faces you see around you.Where does the mouth point? Which way do the eyebrows move? That’s how I discovered many kawaii faces you see above. Use a mirror to see what a particular face looks.If you feel the character is smiling, make it open its mouth ten times wider. EXAGGERATE!! Really, exaggerate the emotion.They are also a powerful way to express emotions. Some of them will not make sense, but others will work great! This is good way to discover some unusual and wacky faces. Just get right into it with a pen, it’s impossible to mess it up! Fill the eggheads with kawaii faces from this post, or other faces you find.Īs you can see, it’s very simple.To make it even more fun, point the heads in different directions! Draw more eggheads until you feel there are enough. Then fill the line with a row of eggheads. And it’s a really fun way to draw with kids, or just doodle while waiting for a bus. I use this exercise (I mean game, game!!) as a drawing warm up. To make it fun, I created a little game for myself. I practiced A LOT of kawaii faces this week. Others came from a practice sheet created by Zainab Khan a.k.a PicCandle.ĬLICK HERE to Pin This Tutorial Kawaii Faces Game Some of the faces I made up or discovered by accident (more on that later). ![]() I put together 60 kawaii faces by combining kawaii eyes and mouths I practiced in Week 13. Here are the fruits of my labour for this week. I think, right now this is my favourite proportion. About half the mouth is above the eye baseline, and half the mouth is below. In the third example, the mouth is slightly below the eyes. The second example shows a mouth that starts at the baseline of the eyes, but extends well below the eyes.ģ. The baseline of the eyes and the mouth are on the same level.Ģ. The first example shows a classical kawaii face. There is a range of positions at which a face still looks kawaii. Also, babies have tiny jaws and chins.Ĭute baby face proportions: eyes, nose and mouth are close together, chin is small How To Position Features on Kawaii Faces The trick to drawing a face of a baby is to make the nose tiny, and to place the nose and mouth very close to the eyes. When I sketch his face, I tend to leave way too much space between the nose and the eyes, because I forget how close the features are on his little face. Our little son teaches me a lot about kawaii faces :D. Who are the cutest creatures on Earth? Babies!!!!! The reason kawaii promotions look cute is because they mimic the proportions of a child’s face. The mouth is aligned with the eyes, or sits just below the eyes. On a kawaii face, the eyes are still halfway down the face, but they are spread out much more. On a regular face, the eyes usually sit halfway down the face, and the mouth is halfway between the eyes and the chin. ![]() The image below shows a regular smiley face and a kawaii face. Let’s look at the anatomy of a kawaii face. But the real magic happens when these features are positioned in the right places. After all, it’s just circles and curvy lines ). The actual skill of drawing kawaii eyes and mouths is not difficult. When it comes to kawaii faces, it’s all about positioning. Use this link to track my drawing progress week by week. This is Week 14 of my personal challenge to learn how to draw kawaii in 6-month. I will share with you what I learned in this post. A slightest variation of line changes the expression completely.īut after drawing many many faces, I began to understand what makes a face look kawaii. I didn’t realise that drawing kawaii faces is more than simply combining different eyes and mouths. Amazing! I could have spent a month on this. Just a few simple lines, and you have a full face. Kawaii faces and expressions are fun to draw. ![]() ![]() ![]() In most politic crisis there is no perfect solution. I am actually all for this realistic twist of the game. It appears there is no way to kill metromind, but let the city live on. Yes there are multiple endings, now stop reading and go try get a few more. If the mobile version is preferred then a tablet will provide a much better, more detailed, and more easily controlled experience.Stop reading now unless you played the entire game and are satisfied with all the sendings you have had. It does go on sale fairly frequently, at least on Steam. Primordia normally sells for $9.99 on Steam and $4.99 on the App Store. Sometimes you just want to go on an adventure and not end up locked out of the ending because of a missed key item or information. The fact that players can also beat the game no matter what their decisions are also helps the game in terms of how easy it is to approach. Getting the full experience will likely require multiple playthroughs as some characters and events can be screwed up and missed. The game can easily be beaten in around 5 hours. Any fan of point and click adventures has played more than one game with a straight faced, no nonsense main character in Horatio, and his humorous and more relaxed sidekick in Crispin. However, the characters are quite predictable. Primordia is a short game that has an intriguing world. From the ambient humming of large power supplies to the grinding of gears, the sound design really makes it feel like there are no people left. Everything sounds like its being made by a machine, and most of the sound really is. The audio is built around industrial sounds. The music and sound effects in the game are quite atmospheric, giving the world a hopeless feeling as it stumbles to its death bed. Primordia is no different, and its imaginative setting and design really helps the game's look stand out. Primordia is published by Wadjet Eye who is known for featuring beautiful 2D pixel art graphics. There are an insane amount of endings, but most are simply variations of a few main endings. ![]() There is no possible way for a player to lock themselves out of beating the game, it is not of the ilk of the real old school point and clicks where a missed item can completely block players from beating the game. How you solve puzzles and solve other robot's problems influences the game's endings. One other great aspect of Primordia is the way the story is designed. On top of that, important information is saved in Horatio's datapad, and can be accessed at any time. Many puzzles can be completed in various different ways and with different items. Thankfully, Primordia is quite modern in terms of its puzzle design. There is also some typing that is done in an information kiosk. You click to move and pick up items, talk to characters, and solve puzzles. On the surface Primordia is a regular and normal point and click adventure. His internal data corruption has affected his name, so it remains partially undefined. Horatio has some amnesia, he's the fifth version of himself and cannot remember his previous versions. The robots have a patronymic naming system, being given a first name by those who build them, and their last name tells the world who built them. Players control a humanoid robot named Horatio Nullbuilt and his hand built sidekick Crispin Horatiobuilt. After the extinction of mankind only robots walk the earth. But, it goes a bit further than most others and has gone post-human. Digital storefronts are largely immune from this problem. The growth of Steam also helped with visibility as many stores were significantly downsizing their physical shelf space for PC games. ![]() The sparse and largely silent scene on PC started to revitalize with modern design sensibilities. Point and click adventures really thinned out after roughly the year 2000, but came back quite strongly after a combination of mobile touch screen controls on Nintendo's DS helped developers reach a massive audience, and the rise of digital distribution on PC. The game was released on PC in 2012 and received an iOS port in 2016. Primordia is a point and click adventure game developed by Wormwood Studios and published by Wadjet Eye Games. ![]() ![]() The exact content will be worked up with you on the basis of participants’ likely uses and need.Īll our workshops are hands-on, delivered thorough a blend of demonstration, discussion and practical exercises, rather than providing simplistic, mechanical instruction.

![]() ![]() ![]() They are easy for the non-dealer mechanic to work on, and junkyard parts are accessable to most people. If new parts weren't getting so hard to find, I would buy another Lumina in a heartbeat. When passing one day, I was suprised to look down and find I was going almost 100, no shimmys, no rattles, just a smooth ride. I find that I can take "45mph" curves at 60-65 without feeling like I'm going to loose it. It has a very large turing radius and a front-end that is longer than it "feels," so give yourself plenty of room when parking. They do have the notorious Chevy breaks, especially on the rear, so you do have to keep an eye on them, but I've never been dissapointed in the power or road-hugging capabilities of this nearly full-sized sedan. We bought both cars used and ran them beyond 200,000 miles before anything serious wore out. The new Lumina and Monte Carlo are noexceptions, but Chevrolet is not far off the mark.My family has owned 5 different Lumina Sedans (90-95s)and have never been left wanting! We have owned 2 of the 93 Euros and both were absolute dreams to drive. ![]() Throughout the summer, Chevy dealers will start receiving both cars involume. They’vejammed Chevy with more than 90,000 orders for the cars. Chevrolet dealersalready think the MonteCarlo, which went into production Feb. And so is the legroom and headroomavailable to rear passengers.Ĭhevy officials hope to sell 300,000 Lumina sedans and Monte Carlo sportcoupes in the 1995 model year. With more padding and support in the lower portion of the seat, the carswould have been as close to faultless as you can get in a lower-priced familysedan and sports coupe. Itwas almost as if theseat cushion was touching the floorboard.Įven though the cars I test drove were pre-production models, Chevroletofficials said the seats in production cars would be virtually the same. I weigh 172pounds and I felt the lower part of the seats sink slightly as I sat down. Specifically, it’s the lower portion of thefront seats that need work.There isn’t enough padding and support in the lower cushion. I tried all of the seating options Chevy offers in the Lumina and MonteCarlo – bench and bucket, cloth and leather – and I couldn’t really getcomfortable. Unlike the old Lumina, you can reach the radio and pop in a cassettewithout having to lean forward.īut after driving some of the cars that the Lumina and Monte Carlo willcompete against – such as the Honda Accord, Ford Taurus and Dodge Intrepid – Irealized that Chevy interior designers dropped the ball when it came toseating comfort. The analog gauges, with their orange needles, white numbersand black background, are easy to readand nicely placed within the instrumentcluster. The three rotary air-conditioner switches feel excellent and are extremelyeasy to operate. Thecupholders, for instance, have been designed to hold everything from thebiggest cup of soda you can buy to a coffee mug with a handle. The interior doesn’t break any new ground in terms of styling ortechnology, but it is attractive, well laid out and user-friendly. Both systems are well matched to the weightand handling abilities of sedan and coupe. The four-wheel independent suspension in theLumina sedan takes the sharpedge off most bumps while still delivering a very capable and athletic ride.īoth cars are outfitted with disc brakes up front and drums in the rear andpower rack-and-pinion steering. You can’t even feel the downshift from fourth to third when you arecruising at highway speeds and you floor the accelerator to pass.īalance and finesse probably best describe the overall driving and handlingcharacteristics of both cars. The gearbox in the Lumina and Monte Carlo provides seamlessshifts. I can’t recall driving any car with a smoother automatictransmission. All that both cars need are better frontseats.īoth available engines – the 160-horsepower 3.1-liter V-6 and the210-horsepower 24-valve 3.4-liter V-6 – felt great, delivering superblyrefined performance and fuel economy many four-cylinder imports can match butnot beat. I feel that both cars – which are mechanically identical – are just oneminor improvement away from giving Chevrolet a real shot at competing for thetop spot in the mid-size market. Last week I drove 180 miles through the winding country roads of northernCentral Florida while taking turns behind the wheel of the new ChevroletLumina and Monte Carlo and the cars Chevy says will be their maincompetition.Īfter a careful comparison, I feel I can predict that Chevrolet will havesolid hits with its new mid-size family sedan and luxury-sports coupe.Initially, however, the1995 Lumina-Monte Carlo may not be a home run, butthey’ll certainly move Chevrolet into scoring position. ![]() |
