Point could be made people don't really use git anymore - they use github as the primary interface. Branching, merging, review, etc.

- paulddraper 3y agoI've never seen as the primary workflow. It's handy, especially if you're using Git as a CMS or something like that.
- medstrom 3y agoHow many people know GitHub can do that? Your comment was the first I'd heard about it.
- gumby 3y agoI suspect it’s the opposite way around: most people, when they hear “git”, macroexpand it to “github” and don’t even know that there is a (more powerful) command-line interface. The peer-peer distributed nature is barely known — these days it’s a centralized client/server system. I remember the Internet connection going out at work a few years ago and developers saying they couldn’t coordinate bc github was not accessible when they could easily have synced, merged etc with each other directly.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 3y agoMy partner definitely does not know the difference between Git and GitHub. He's not much of a programmer but yeah.. maybe this is like Java vs JS all over again. Or jQuery vs JS. That one makes me extra sad.
- datavirtue 3y agoThe only git GUI I use is GitLens. I have always found the command line much easier to understand...and the GUIs make me nervous.
