Guy who thinks git is too much automation:

Files on master:

main.py
main_<other guy>_code.py
main_old_code.py

Also says: Don't push now because I am working on some files and git is not capable of dealing with changes to files within the same time.

WHY?!

Talk his boss to get him some git training

@electrineer He doesnt want to learn it because too much "automation" - I dont get it too...

My research advisor refuses to create an org on GitHub for our multiple repos, they're all on his account like every other project in the lab. Makes no sense but he says he feels like hes more in control of them that way

@hypervtechnics his boss may have a second thought

Way back in the dark ages, DEC computers were prevalent in a lot of corporations. We had version control sw, but the OS on their popular Vax systems always incremented a counter on file edits.

"main.py" would really be main.py;1 and editing would create main.py;2 and retain the old ;1 version

So many otherwise smart guys relied on that heavily for version control. Moving to Unix was a huge ordeal and many balked for years because they couldn't wrap their heads around the git-like cms available

Technology marches on, but people are still the problem

Still better than SVN :v
