I recently talked with a junior developer fresh out of school who was very surprised that you could just use git locally to track changes to your own files, without ever connecting to a server. He seemed to think git is the CLI for Github.
- JohnFen 2y agoThe number of times I've encountered this truly amazes me. Another weird misconception I've been seeing more and more is the idea that it has to be on GitHub to count as an OSS project.
- palata 2y agoI have seen shell scripts written "directly" as GitHub actions. Meaning that it was impossible to run them locally... assuming that everyone always has an Internet connection and GitHub is never down. I guess it is "portable" in a sense (as long as you have a browser and Internet access, you can "run" the script, no matter your platform).
