Me: *just playing around with Git on my terminal*
Friend: "Man, you're such a geek, typing your git command on the terminal.. I myself can't use git without the GUI at all"
Me: *stares at him in silence*
Me: "Wait... THERE 'S A GUI FOR THAT?"
*true story when I was in college*46 -

Why is the "leave building"command now working?!?!?! Are you sure it's a Git command?? .... Oh shit.

Begin a lazy fuck -> not taking the time to learn git while I've had plenty of time and now I still hardly know how to use it.18

Today a Coworker got a little piece of paper acknowledging that he was a Git master, two hours later he fucked up all the branches.6

Crazy how git got its name:
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

You know you messed Git hard when your commit graph started to look like November Rain on Guitar Hero.

I forced my friends to use git(hub) as vcs because their project was in a usb-to-usb state, which was unacceptable for me. So I offered them my help and uploaded it (with a little bit of a forced consent) to github, to end this misery. Of course I helped them the basics of git. Now they automatically use git(hub) as vcs and to share their code.
I feel proud for this :)11 -
Fell like I can finally vent this now I've calmed down.
Me: You've fucked the tree again
Junior: No I haven't
Me: It says there "Fixing merge conflicts"
Junior: Well it wasn't me I wouldn't have done a merge
Me: It has your name next to it...
Junior: Well that commit wasn't there a second ago
Me: it's dated for Friday...
Junior: Well if you hadn't committed to master and blah blah blah
Me: We'll if you knew know to use git we wouldn't have this problem.13 -
With the other members of the team refusing to learn git and making changes directly to the staging server i get to write the commit messages for everyone.
Log:
UPDATE: *informative details *
UPDATE: mark made some changes
UPDATE: colin made the same changes as mark but different
UPDATE: andrew undid all colins updates to change one link and I had to add them back in, thank gawd I commit the night before
BUGFIX: andrew keeps changing the database host to localhost and uploading it without changing it back
UPDATE: we all hate andrew15 -
Best Git commit msg I ever saw was nothing more than: "please work"
...found after a junior dev left our company and we were reviewing things4 -
Sorry John Doe, you're application for this job has been rejected. As we specified for this job you need to know about GitHub. In your CV you stated that you are an expert in git but our job requires the knowledge of hub as well. Good luck next time10

A coworker blamed me that our git server is rejecting his changes. Turns out his commits are 200MB large each, including binaries of all newly added libraries. And I was all like:

I "Git Pushed" my friend to "git commit" with a girl he likes for long time
But now my other friend wants to "git rebase" on top of her ....WTF
Now need to resolve this merge conflict 😂😂😂6 -
Had a fun little conversation with a potential employer...
Him: We use git for version control. To work with our team you'll be expected to do the same and be proficient at it.
Me: Not a problem. I am well versed with all things git! May I ask, what does your work flow look like?
Him: All of our source lives in a single repo and everyone commits straight to master.
Me: 😐...
Him: Conflicts will not be tolerated.6 -
Everyone in my company prefers solving git issues rather than `rm -rf` & `git clone`
Feels like I'm working with a team of geniuses. 😂13 -
Don't do "git pull" quickly. Always do a "git fetch" THEN "git log HEAD..origin" OR "git log -p HEAD..origin". It is like previewing first what you will "git pull".
OR something like (example):
- git fetch
- git diff origin/master
- git pull --rebase origin master
Sometimes it is a trap, you will pull other unknown or unwanted files that will cause some errors after quickly doing a git pull when working in a team. Better safe than sorry.
Other tips and tricks related are welcome 😀

I forced myself to use git on my latest projects. And the more I use it, the more I love it. I can relate to all the git-love here on devRant.21

Code with syntax coloring fascinates my young nephew, so after I commit and push, I let him do his thing then later I do a
git reset HEAD --hard3 -
git commit -m "last"
git commit -m "last1"
git commit -m "real last"
git commit -m "real last 1"
git commit -m "real real last"8 -
I forgot to git fetch, so I spent quite a while doing exactly WHAT MY TEAMMATE HAD DONE JUST HOURS AGO4
-
got commit
got add
got pull
got push
...
Typos.. every.. Damn.. time.. so I assigned an alias for got = git9 -
One day Linus Torvalds will make a statement about git like: "Why is everybody using this? It was just a joke!"3

There are two types of people in my comp sci class.
1. People who use git
2. People who drop out because noone wants to collab with them7 -
Wanna gently annoy your coworker? Every time they send you an idea about something code related, just respond with:
"git checkout shitty_ideas"3 -
Me: How can I delete pushed commits from origin?
Colleague: Just do git reset --hard and then git push -f
Me: But this is dangerous
Colleague: Wait, I'll do it myself
Colleague: Done
Me: But nothing happened
Colleague: Fuck. I just removed all changes on my own branch

Happened way too often: after a bunch of 'git add's, 'git commit's and 'git push's trying to close console with 'git exit'.2

git reflog, git reflog...git FUCKING reflog!!!! Ah fuck this, I'm taking the kids out. 3hrs later.... Oh shit, i was in the wrong directory. A good fresh air clears the mind.2

I'm going to teach web dev at a coding school in a few months. In the teaching plan, students have to learn git. But we are told explicitly to only teach using github desktop and not the command line because it puts students off.
I'm not sure how to feel about this12 -
Remember kids, clear out any login credentials before doing git commit and git push!
/smacks himself6 -
So I started to read the book „Mastering Git“ by Jakub Narębski (*) and I am so impressed of how much more git is than just commit/push/pull 😳
(*) https://packtpub.com/application-de...3 -
I have previously worked with a company where they were copying project codes through a USB and making local backups of the whole project with dates and not using git.3
-
One of my teachers pronounces the 'g' in 'git' like the 'j' in 'jet' and it confuses me each time he says it6
-
I just noticed visualizing git is like a timeline with alternate realities and a lot of time travel. The main branch is the main timeline and the branches are like fixes from the past to try and make the future better they merge when the future is fixed otherwise if someone or something fucked up time traveling it becomes the main timeline.
-
I know it's not recommended to write git commit messages in past tense, but it makes more sense to me to use it. Maybe I'll change as I grow and learn more in the programmer world, but as for now, I'm going to be a rebel and ignore convention😎5

Me: we should take this project a little more serious, follow the coding standards and please let us use git!
Pal: Oh sure.
//made a new repo and the first commit, sent the link and prepared everything (Granted access etc.)
//2 weeks later
Me: What's up, I already got quite some commits and you haven't pushed anything so far.
Pal: Pushed? what do you mean?
Me: I'm the talking about the git repo, I'm the only one contributing.
Pal: Oh yeah git, I installed it but I have no idea how that stuff works. I opened Git gui but i don't know what I'm supposed to do. I got everything in the Dropbox tho.
Me: ... ... ... FUUUUUUUUU WHAT THE FUCK MATE ARE YOU SHITTING ME, THE HELL DO WE HAVE GOOGLE FOR AND WHY DIDNT YOU ASK, LIKE WTF SERIOUSLY I EXPLICITLY TOLD YOU TO USE GIT.

Honestly, without git version control I wouldn't know how I could manage my project properly. Git is awesome in so many aspects <34

Git: the occasionally frustrating, dangerous, and infuriating VCS you can't believe you were living without.
-
One of my *co-workers* (intern turned full-time) had his user (the USER) initialised as a git repo. I've officially seen everything.3
-
*spends 2 hours actually coding and working on the project*
*remembers hasn't made any commit*
Welp, guess it's time to do the git shit. -
I think of git as if it was my dog. For added fun name your remote "slippers". Then you can exec "git fetch slippers"2
-
One day i started to code.
One day i was told you will not code without git.
Many days i lost code on git because i was ignorant.
Today i reset the act of commiting without losing all my shit.
Git reset --soft HEAD^
I didnt event sweat it ;)
Today i feel like half a boss!!! -
Dont commit before you see this. Here's Adrianna, she thinks she founded GIT.

Something to cheer you up mid-week:
> alias yolo='git commit -am "DEAL WITH IT" && git push -f origin master' -
People who delete a repo and clone again instead of a hard reset because 'they can't undo the changes they made" are the kind of people who shouldn't be using git in the first place.4
-
Git on VS doesn't want to ignore the files I've added in the .gitignore.
Still no shell for command line.
Well, looks like my changes will be filled with DLL files.12 -
An amazing git story: A month ago coworkers did research and started with merge requests. Their workflow is as follows: A Feature is developed in a branch, then a merge request is opened. After a very short review it will be closed (rejected) and merged without request. (wtf!) After that the develop branch will be tested later, in case of bugs, a new branch per feature is opened.3

Cleaning up after yourself if so damn important. Even your git repos:
# always be pruning
git fetch -p
# delete your merged branches
git branch --merged | grep -v master | xargs -n 1 git branch -d
# purge remote branches that are merged
git branch -r --merged | grep -v master | sed 's/origin\///' | xargs -n 1 git push --delete origin -
One of my colleague uses git prune to make a local branch track origin. I told him the way to do this (git branch -b newbranch, git branch -u origin/whatever). He says why do it in two commands when you can do it in one. I asked him what do you think git prune actually does? He says, "Who cares?". It pains me deeply.

git stash pop'd on wrong branch, hadn't realized it until after a bunch more work. Then continued screwing things up and unit tests are failing.
This is not a good coding day. -

What Git client are you using? Also, what's a freemium Git client that is cheap? Sorry I'm not a fan of monthly subscriptions (hi gitkraken and Git tower) Thanks! 😎28

Our git subtree completely stop working somehow. No one can get latest.
Now we are playing wood sword and pretend nothing happened. -
The first 30 minutes of a working day often consist of me saying, "who broke this then?" Then a liberal use of git blame.

Learning git continues..
So I started learning git on an actual project and pushed all commits on master.. after the project had been completed I gave more time learning git and felt like an idiot...now I'm efficiently trying to learn git...

My response, as a gamer and developer, when yet another guy tries to explain how "mercurial is so much easier to use":
Git gud5 -
The dev behind me just send some code changes to another dev because those two dont want (or are just too stupid) to merge their code with git...2
-
Am I the only dev who need to git commit && git push everytime I've done more than I would like to redo in case my computer dies?3
-
This is git.
You code whatever, add the files, commit and push.
Just keep doing at repeatedly.
Until your push is rejected, in which case you delete the local folder and re-clone the whole thing.
#howOneLearnsGit1 -
Does anyone else feel like this during git push-
"Oh god, this baby going to spit out some authentication errors"
..and everything works fine ?2 -
What would you prefer ? Mercurial or Git? why should i use mercurial and why not git? i am confused.13
-
Git tip: Before doing "git clean -fd" always think twice and backup the whole folder manually before doing that. Take it from me.
Also be careful with, "git pull" 😩12 -
Just lost 2 days of works, don't ask me why.
git is good, but someone doesn't know how to use it, I will never tell you that's me.2 -
When your changes keep being reverted and you finally discover the 'experienced' contractor has been using rebase and 'take mine' in git merges.1

Pretty difficult to control bad rebasing so... merge for the win!!! #Git #developerproblems who is with me??

My TPM just asked me to upload the files I changed on the server, I asked if they don't use git (today is my third day in this company), he said no. And today is also my last day, because I resign at the end of the day.1
-
if you're new to git, becareful not to do something like git reset --hard
it works similar to
git checkout --
rm -rf.
and deletes your files that haven't been checked in3 -
when my Git Bash got "died waiting for dll loading" issue, and the only solution is to shutdown cygserver

Fire at work place.
Normal People: Immediately run from the gate.
Programmer: Git add, Git commit, Git Push, realize fire on the gate, jump from the window.1 -
git suicide:
git() { if [[ $@ == 'suicide' ]]; then git reset --hard origin/master; git push origin master --force; fi }2 -
Learned git, decided, imma use this while I make a little game in Java, couple days later, I find out that net beans has git INSIDE of it... :/ ....3
-
Is there any git gui that allows to revert just one file? Gitkraken is amazing but really sucks outside of basic git operations
-
I Love git. After a year, I still can't decide how to break my commits up. Should I create a new commit with every level me of code, or every function or feature meaning (a few functions). What are your ideas?33

My PM (who's not a coder) is trying Git
I could see that by the fortunatly inoffensive merges that appeared randomly.
That's still funny.
Now to teach him not to "Sync" everytime he wanna "Pull". -
Going through my git commits and wondering why I would just commit every file under the same commit. More often than not they had nothing to do with eachother 😐2

When you're a comp Sci student helping fix one of your peers' projects and you have to spend 10 minutes hitting ctrl z because they don't know what git is.1

Nothing compares to the amount of times I cloned a git repository because I messed a commit back when I first learned git
-
Frustrated with solving the mess in master branch that cocky developers who don't understand git create.
-
I learnt more about git and how it goes about doing its stuff.. And decided to bestow that wisdom.upon the world..
https://linuxfromanoobie.wordpress.com/... -
I thought the ReadMe file on git was for how to use someone's source code. why I find most of them empty!! 👊 😉 others jst have -----###2
-
Was exhausted after coding for a full day, was going to commit all the work at the end of the day. Then my brain snapped: wanted to hit `git add .`, hit `git checkout .` instead.
Lesson learned (the hard way): "commit fast, and commit often"1 -
Need some help!
How can I create a git release with only distribution files?
Let's say I have a Sass project and it compiles to a single CSS file. I want to provide just the CSS file in download as release and exclude all other source files. How can I do that and how should this be automated?
Thanks5 -
Gotta love git. Every time I look for something I don't know I learn about some new fun command like
git update-index --really-refresh
And yes, there's a regular refresh command as well :)
