Done some great work yesterday (if I say so myself) getting an Azure Devops pipeline to open a GitHub Enterprise pull request all day... Not a big job in itself but the one it is doing will boost productivity. Mine at least.
Basically previously a lot of my work has been make improvements to a shared component, then that component needs updating in multiple apps (websites). So previously, I automated that, one command opens all the tickets, updates code, opens pull requests, loads of time saved. However, that's still one manual step, and the pull requests are still opened as me, so I need to get someone else to review and approve before I can merge it. So now I made it so an automated pipeline does this bit, so the pull requests are opened by a service account automatically. Only reduced one step from the process, but there was only one step lest to go, and honestly it will save loads of time.
Tempted to do more work on it, but that will start up build processes and I don't want to risk one failing and that alerting someone and causing any work. So I'll leave it.
Light rain and light winds, 10 - 19℃.
