Have you guys tried magit, yet? 😀
Haven’t tried magit yet, but I can recommend lazygit
Just use magit as a git porcelain, I have used it because despite using git for 10 years I have no idea how it works other than only 5 commands since I just do not care how git works because I hate git and the cli is badly design. I don’t know how magit is for rebasing though, but that sucks anyway and you should be merging instead, since a branch is just a pointer to a commit which is an immutable snapshot there is no point in switching branches.
I think thats bingo?
Where does one best play this? StackOverflow?
Cool bingo grid (stars it on GitHub) But there are a few things I don’t quite agree with, (pulls branch), and you choild change it (pull request send)
Surely there aren’t 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. It’s 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 don’t want to be told they have to learn a new tool unless it was their idea.
My biggest beef with git is that nobody thinks that it’s 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 they’re actually involved in a project, which is…not ideal.

RTFM.
LOL. Much respect of you’re 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.
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 “you’ve not bothered solving it yourself, why waste my time” instead of today’s “fuck off”. People can really be snowflakes at times.
College/uni is supposed to show what to learn on your own, rather than hold your hand all the way through. That is what’s absolutely missing from being mentioned in any of the programmes.
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 it’s tough over there in US, but here in Europe it’s 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. There’s something to be said about the power of having a schedule. Uni also helped me in ways I didn’t know I needed help with. It’s definitely worth a lot.
There must be some prodigy people who have the magical combo of focus and willpower, but the majority don’t. Higher ed helps tremendously with that.
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 that’s a waste of money.
You get exposed to concepts and you dig into them on your own. It’s not easy, but nothing valuable in life is. And there’s 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.
