An anecdote, but it's really difficult to search for information on git. Pretty much everything I find is specific to GitHub. Though that might be a problem with me still using Google to try to find information.
- gspencley 4y agoYeah I switched to DuckDuckGo a long time ago and now I might switch to Brave Search because its "Goggles" feature is pretty cool (basically lets you rerank search results according to preference, ex: give precedence to tech blogs, or URLs popular in HN comments, down-rank most popular sites etc.). This is getting off-topic, but at a certain point Google's results started to feel less and less relevant. Strict keyword matching stopped becoming a feature since it started to "guess" the "hidden meaning" behind your searches, modifiers like "include this exact text" and -"exclude this" stopped being supported and the amount of crap it throws in the search results that are not links to websites became distracting and annoying much of the time rather than useful.
- toastal 4y agoRelated to search though, Microsoft GitHub does not allow you to search the source code of projects with the search bar unless you are authenticated.
- alwaysbeconsing 4y agoI would suggest bookmarking this: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 I have found the how and why of pretty much everything I've ever needed to do with git there. You can also access the official man pages on that site.
