As a side note, I find it incredible how much programmers have such little knowledge of how to use Git properly.
Even the most amazing developers I’ve worked with found themselves completely unable to manage their repos properly.
I refuse to believe that anyone other than Linus knows how to use git.
Git is one of those things that take a bunch of learning to understand but is makes perfect sense once you do. I read like half of the pro git book and after that I was like it’s so simple! If course it still requires you to read half a book…
Yes! And the book is free. You can download it in PDF if you want.
For some reason I’ve always been able to visualize version control systems and workflows pretty well and understand how they work. I used to host a CVS server when I was in college back in 2001 so my teammates and I we could collaborate on our lab projects. Then moved on to Subversion, which I used for a very long time. Then I worked at a small company who used Canonical’s Bazaar and finally joined a big corp who used Git.
Throughout the years I simply developed some good practices that I applied to Git and that seemed to be enough. But, I’d occasionally get into this detached head state that I didn’t really understand. And this happened often with my teammates at that job. They’d end up with bizarre scenarios. So I started reading the book and experimenting and was soon pretty solid in Git and ended up being the SME on that topic for our team. Everyone would come to me when they got stuck.
I’m still learning new shit about Git even 8 years later lol. But, the step from being a newbie to a normal user is really big.
They are all named some variant of “tutorial_Ch01” or “testprogram” probably. And one repository named “My Unnamed MMO” (or some other overly complex but trendy genre) that has like 12 lines of code so far and a crappy drawn pixelart png.
That’s a lot of code, I’d expect the 12 lines in the README.
There is no readme
“check the comments in the code.”
(there are none)
I don’t know how you got a picture of me, but I demand it is removed!
Why the “/” between VS ?
And half of them are “curated list of X”
