Hello everyone , I'm Cui Qingcai .

Recently I came across a new word at work ：dummy change, It was encountered in the process of e-mail communication , The cause is something Pipeline There is one Bug, But the configuration file is OK , So the other party suggested that I do something about the configuration file dummy change, Then trigger Pipeline Refresh of .

I didn't understand at the beginning , What is called? dummy change ah ？

Then I checked , Here to share .

dummy, The meaning is false , It's fake change, Is actually changed , But it doesn't look any different .

such as , A file , Let's add a space somewhere 、 Add a blank line , On the surface, the contents of the configuration file have not changed , The configuration is the same as the original configuration , But the file itself changes because of an empty line or space .

therefore ,dummy change In fact, most of them just change a space somewhere in the file 、 Add a blank line 、 Modify some irrelevant comments , No real impact , But it actually makes the file itself change , In order to trigger some related operations .

Hopefully that helped .
