While playing around with Zig (not that I’m actually going to try and learn it anytime soon I think) I had GitHub copilot generate the launch,json file for a little hello world app. Apparently you can ask for user input directly this way:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "lldb",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Debug Zig Executable",
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/zig-out/bin/${input:executableName}",
      "preLaunchTask": "build",
      "args": [],
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
    }
  ],
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "executableName",
      "description": "Enter the name of the executable to debug (e.g., zig_hello_world)"
    }
  ]
}

When pressing F5, a little dialogue pops up and asks you to input some text which is then used in the config. Pretty neat.

It is possible to add multiple authors to one git commit on Github.

You just need to add “Co-authored-by” to the end of the commit message followed by the co-authors’ name and email address. This works for multiple co-authors.

git commit -m "Your commit message" -m "Co-authored-by: Name <email>"

This will then show up in the commit history on Github. I don’t think it works on Azure DevOps.
