If we committed something into a Git repository that should not be there, we could rewrite the history and make it look as it was never there.
I usually try to prevent rewriting the history, especially when I already pushed the changes. Then when we modify the past, everyone in the team needs to do some extra work to catch up.
If this is not a problem or the lesser evil, we can use the following steps to rewrite the Git history.
C# 11 introduced collection expressions (formerly known as list patterns) to .Net 7+. This little feature allows us to match lists by shape, not just by checking every position. Let us see how this can influence how we write checks.
Installing packages with Winget is usually a straightforward task. However, when it comes to PowerShell 7, we need a little additional option to get everything correctly set-up.
Renewing SSL certificates for applications we deploy with Octopus Deploy is a straightforward task. We can go to the certificate store, replace the old certificate with the new one and the next time we deploy the certificate is on the server. If we need to update the certificate for Octopus Deploy itself, we need to go through more hoops that are not as clear. Let us see what we need to do.

A nice little helper I found is dotnet-outdated, that gives us a detailed list of our projects and the outdated packages.
