rebase.autostash saves the stash dance

A rebase or pull refuses to run with a dirty tree, so you stash, run it, pop, and forget the pop one time in ten.

git config --global rebase.autostash true
git config --global pull.rebase true

With both set, git pull rebases your branch on the remote and stashes and restores your local changes around it, in one command.

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.
