Does the top comment in _every_ HN post have to be an argument, criticism, or complaint? If you don't find value in a given post, then just move on. I suspect a lot of folks had indeed never heard of this feature before now.
I found this introduction to git add -p to be extremely helpful. I've found myself in the position he describes (wanting to logically separate changes I've made to a file) many times, and I've usually handled it in a sub-optimal manner (making one commit that describes multiple changes).
- FrozenCow 13y agoThe 'problem' is that this tip has been posted a lot on HN/Reddit. It becomes annoying for some people to keep reading about a "git feature you're not using yet". That said, the feature isn't well-known for everyone and it is very useful, so you can only expect negative as well as positive comments.
- chaz 13y agoThe upvotes seem to validate the article's value, even if the topic has been posted in the past.
- Killswitch 13y agoI've been a HN user for 701 days (as of today). This is the first time I've seen this topic here.. Sorry not all of us are on HN 24/7. This is new to me, and I appreciate it being posted, because guess what? I've never known of git add -p. Now I do. But wait, what if the person who posted this did indeed see something similar posted here last year and never posted it? Great, now I won't ever have known this great feature. Like stated before. Don't like the content? Don't upvote it. Move on. The complaining in every thread about these things are more annoying than seeing the same thing posted again after a month or two.
- aeonsky 13y agoBecause the title provides a statement without any evidence and is downright condescending?
