Github supports alerts in markdown

Today I learned that Github supports alerts in markdown using the blockquote syntax: > [!NOTE] > Useful information that users should know, even when skimming content. This is an extension to the standard markdown syntax that’s I’ve supported more and more in various markdown tools like Obsidian and vscode (they’re also referred to as callouts or admonitions).

Dependency Review

Today I learned that Github has a cool dependency review feature for pull requests. If a dependency file like a package.json or .csproj has been modified, you can click on the “rich diff” button and it will list out any dependencies that changed or any vulnerabilities for those versions. It’ll even list out sub-dependencies in a package-lock.json which is otherwise pretty inscrutable.
