I’ve seen tortoise users break their repo, struggle to understand the issue and then push it through, making it everyone’s problem. Git language is screwed, you cannot unscrew it with a right-click gui because you basically click some latin-looking hieroglyphs that you don’t know either way.
- globular-toast 2y agoI highly doubt tortoise or any tool can "break" a repo. This might be a sign that you don't understand git either. Now I'm sure it can lead to people who don't know what they're doing doing the wrong thing, but if they're allowed to push somewhere and make it someone else's problem, that's not their fault. They've been forced to use git, so there should be someone else who actually understands git.
- _puk 2y agoAh, we're holding it wrong. Got it.
- wruza 2y ago“Break” doesn’t mean repo integrity corruption. It means that you try to merge a branch, and it shits itself with hundreds of conflicts that shouldn’t appear and/or has changes that may partially revert the progress made by other merges. if they're allowed to push somewhere and make it someone else's problem, that's not their fault What? This made zeroest sense of the day. Like, I should walk to their desk and check if a feature branch is okay to push or what?
- globular-toast 2y agoUsually people make pull requests.
- wruza 2y agoYep, with a branch they pushed into. I guess you're ignoring the same context as another commenter elsewhere, probably because your workflow is restricted only to modes that git "supports".
