I always found these sort of categorical denigrations to be off base. If most people do think git = github then that's because they were taught it by somebody.

I always found these sort of categorical denigrations to be off base. If most people do think git = github then that's because they were taught it by somebody. A lot of somebodies for "most people". Likely by the same somebodies who also come to places like this. It has always taken a village to raise a child and that is just as true for an infant as a junior programmer. But instead we live in a sad world of "why didn't schools teach person x"
