I've used hub for a few years, but I find the advice of replacing the 'git' command with 'hub' to be a bit over the top. Security/compatibility concerns aside, it can easily confuse non-experts as to what kind of CLI functionality git itself (vs hub/github) provides.
It's often helpful to know what's actually happening... then add something like hub later as an optimization.
- Macha 9y agoThis is a github project, that kind of confusion is to their benefit. People will complain about bitbucket/gitlab missing this functionality (but iirc, at least one of them has their own similar project)
- lloydde 9y agoSpot on. I'm also a long time user and also keep hub separate & like to understand when it's acting as straight pass through, enhancing the behavior or doing something that only makes sense in Github's implementation.
- timvdalen 9y agoI had git replaced with hub a few years back but hub was just way too slow starting up, killing what seemed like git performance.
- johnny22 9y agothat's a huge reason why they rewrote it in Go
