[21:08] <-- barneybook has left this server (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). | |
[21:08] <sbenthall> yeah, it's not that. it's more like beginning git users hung up on edge cases | |

[21:09] <EugeneKay> Yeah, tell 'em to try first ;-) | |
[21:09] <offby1> EugeneKay: people have git homework? | |
[21:09] <sbenthall> ESR's "How to ask questions the smart way" is already on the syllabus | |
[21:09] <EugeneKay> Apparently these ones do | |

[21:11] <jexmex> I am going to go insane | |
[21:11] <EugeneKay> I recommend the green pills | |
[21:11] <EugeneKay> They taste like mint | |
[21:12] <jexmex> 1 get this working right, guy pushes bad commit, another guy tries to fix it, loses my changes, and I have not clue how to figure out how to find then | |
[21:12] --> skorgon_1 has joined this channel (~skorgon@gateway/tor-sasl/skorgon). | |
[21:12] <jexmex> *them | |
[21:12] <-- sferry has left this server (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). | |
[21:12] <jexmex> now I get to redo all my changes because all my attempts with git have failed | |
[21:12] <sig> sbenthall: git is really cursorily mentioned, also not stressed that git != github... that Bottom Up is really a very very essential thing (well it was for me) for grokking git | |
[21:12] <sig> and stopping shooting yourself in the foot | |
[21:13] <sig> even with a GUI like sourcetree that is an excellent tool to shoot yourself in the foot with | |
[21:13] <sbenthall> good point sig | |
[21:14] <mark06> is msysgit a native mingw program or was it compiled specially for the msys environment it ships with? | |
[21:14] <EugeneKay> guthib | |
[21:14] <sig> of course if git is going to be but strictly a tool/feature that comes with this wonderful GitHub service then... eh. | |
[21:14] <deryni> jexmex: If you commited your changes then git has them. The reflog might be your friend here. | |
[21:14] <EugeneKay> mark06 - I honestly have no idea; I want to say the latter. | |
[21:14] <-- kcj has left this server (Read error: No route to host). | |
[21:14] <sbenthall> sig: these are serious newbs. a lot of them don't have a better way to get into it than github | |
[21:14] <sbenthall> i see why it's a little offensive, but i'm doing what i can | |
[21:14] <sig> github isn't a way to get into git | |
[21:15] <sig> I: | |
[21:15] <sbenthall> now you're trolling :) | |
[21:15] <sig> I mean, it can be useful, and using it really requires very minimal git knowledge | |
[21:15] <sig> like... webchat vs IRC, I guess | |
[21:16] <sig> you don't really have to even know how to join a channel if you input it into some HTML text field when you log into the webchat | |
[21:16] <-- protoCall7 has left this server (Quit: protoCall7). | |
[21:16] <sig> you won't learn much about IRC, but if all you want it to chat on one channel (and don't care people dissing your webchat client) that I guess you don't really have to bother | |
[21:16] <sbenthall> sig: it's really turtles all the way down, no matter where you stand | |
[21:16] <sig> you can stand on Bottom Up, I... 95% promise | |
[21:17] [Whois] sig is ~jtakalai@59.188.233.214 (Unknown) | |
[21:17] [Whois] sig is a user on channels: #git | |
[21:17] [Whois] sig is online via roddenberry.freenode.net (Brisbane, AU). | |
[21:17] [Whois] sig is logged in as sig. | |
[21:17] [Whois] End of WHOIS list. | |
[21:17] <sig> but then again, if point isn't to learn to use a source control system (but rather to learn to use a collab web service or whatever) then maybe it's off the point | |
[21:17] <sig> as in, do on your own time if you care, or whatever | |
[21:17] <-- Samual has left this server (Ping timeout: 248 seconds). | |
[21:17] <-- jperry has left this server (Read error: Connection reset by peer). | |
[21:17] <sbenthall> it's a bit choose your own adventure. showing the possibilities | |
[21:17] <sbenthall> thanks for the Bottom Up link. I bet it will be really useful to some | |
[21:18] <sig> looks like this course is more about "collaboration in the interwebs" (github) than "source control" (git) | |
[21:18] <sbenthall> correct | |
[21:18] <-- el3ctron has left this server (Ping timeout: 245 seconds). | |
[21:18] <sig> what I imagine is people appearing on this channel asking how to login into git :D | |
[21:19] <sig> but eh, I guess whatever | |
[21:19] <sbenthall> i'm going to filter for that | |
[21:19] <sig> sbenthall: you could also point them to #github | |
[21:19] --> jperry has joined this channel (~jperry@64.206.121.41). | |
[21:20] <sig> they will probably happily answer git-related questions, too | |
[21:20] --> protoCall7 has joined this channel (~protoCall@173-10-95-210-BusName-Washington.hfc.comcastbusiness.net). | |
[21:20] <sig> and probably give better answers, too |
