Last april 30th I started my GSoC at Git, and it’s been a few days already. This week has been more about what I’m gonna do rather than doing, but I think that having a clear plan will be worth.
This week I had the GSoC 2026 welcome meeting, I also have scheduled meetings with my mentors and the other three Git GSoC students. I’m excited about it :).
As part of my work is rebasing previous work, I’ve been reading what is left to do, good thing that most of what I have to do I had it already noted on my proposal. Rebasing was harder than what I expected, but mostly because I’m not used to having to deal with manual conflicts as most of the time I code alone, I knew one file got deleted so I had to trace what had happened with it.
I’d like to say that I’ve improved, with who I was before starting GSoC because tracing the history was an easy part, I could say I’m liking the mailing list. As it is community bonding I’m trying to be more active at the mailing list rather than patches I’m trying to review other’s work with what I know.
Even though it’s still community bonding, I’ve already started with the rebase and feedback left to do. But I need to read more docs to be sure that I understand everything and make sure I’m doing it correctly.
