R 4.6.0 "Because it was There" is set for release on 24 April 2026.

Your .gitconfig is probably costing you hours every month. A few tweaks can fix daily Git annoyances:
• Sort branches by date, not alphabet
• Auto-setup remote tracking (goodbye "git push -u")
• Different emails for work/personal projects
• Sign commits with SSH instead of GPG
