Great news but my first thought was that it's hard enough for juniors to grasp the difference between git and github. Now they will be even more confused... :]

- VWWHFSfQ 6y agoThat's the point
- gregplaysguitar 6y agoTo be fair, they’re not explicitly saying to alias it as `git` this time. At least with a different name the distinction is clearer
- richajak 6y agoI have never really grokked the concept of git to push or pull, commit or diff the code that I write. Tried to convince myself a few times that is best practise from the industry. I still tgz my source code before I intend to make substantial change. Github for me is simply a repo of open source code that I can inspect before I use someone else library.
- sagarm 6y agoSource control is well worth the learning curve. Git is harder to learn than most, though. I hear Mercurial is easier to learn; maybe give it a try?

- gregplaysguitar 6y agoIsn’t mercurial pretty much dead? I know Bitbucket dropped support for it last year. I’ve also found it no more intuitive than git personally.
