Never plain force push, use --force-with-lease

--force overwrites whatever is on the remote, including a commit a colleague pushed while you were rebasing. --force-with-lease refuses if the remote moved since you last fetched.

git push --force-with-lease

Alias it. The one time it saves you pays for every keystroke.

Session cookies: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax

securityhttp

Three attributes, each closing a class of attack. HttpOnly keeps scripts from reading it. Secure keeps it off plain HTTP. SameSite=Lax stops it being sent on cross-site POSTs, which is most CSRF.

Set-Cookie: session=...; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Lax; Path=/; Max-Age=1209600

Strict breaks arriving from an external link while logged in. Lax is the default worth keeping.
