Have you guys tried magit, yet? π
My biggest beef with git is that nobody thinks that itβs important enough to teach. Whenever you go through a boot camp or even a college web design program, they only spend a day or two on it max and then move on. That leaves people to learn it once theyβre actually involved in a project, which isβ¦not ideal.
College/uni is supposed to show what to learn on your own, rather than hold your hand all the way through. That is whatβs absolutely missing from being mentioned in any of the programmes.
Yeah I only pay tens of thousands of dollars for an impersonal impossible being to grunt and mutter phrases from a time and place so utterly absent and uncaring of human understanding that I receive nothing of value from it.
Would you like to pay tens of thousands of dollars for being taught git?! Now thatβs a waste of money.
You get exposed to concepts and you dig into them on your own. Itβs not easy, but nothing valuable in life is. And thereβs simply no time to spend on a fairly trivial thing such as git. Especially when you can slowly learn it on your own while working on assignments, homework, personal projects, writing a diary, etc.
I already know what I need to learn. You could figure that out with a web search. Just see which skills employers are asking for in job postings. Why would I go to college for that?
I guess itβs tough over there in US, but here in Europe itβs a bit easier financially.
I had the same mindset as you. My problem was that while I could learn all those things on my own, I never did. Thereβs something to be said about the power of having a schedule. Uni also helped me in ways I didnβt know I needed help with. Itβs definitely worth a lot.
There must be some prodigy people who have the magical combo of focus and willpower, but the majority donβt. Higher ed helps tremendously with that.

RTFM.
Lemmy is very young and sensitive. This meme-y post got more attention that usual stuff.
I agree with your sentiment. I miss the time where RTFM was understood as βyouβve not bothered solving it yourself, why waste my timeβ instead of todayβs βfuck offβ. People can really be snowflakes at times.
LOL. Much respect of youβre wizardly enough to just learn it from man git
. Fortunately, there are plenty of more accessible learning tools for us mere mortals.
My mistake for taking the community name at face value.
Surely there arenβt people who think subversion was better? Better than cvs sure, better than got, nah
Generally speaking, people who prefer subversion spent a lot of time using it before got became the mainstream. Itβs not generally been an opinion formed from contemplation but that the workflows are so different that they are having to return source control management from scratch.
Developers typically donβt want to be told they have to learn a new tool unless it was their idea.
git gud
I have to use SVN at work and I miss git so much.
Where does one best play this? StackOverflow?
