As a tech-savvy user, I may be asked which device I recommend. If I write OS-agnostic mobile apps for fun, and my apps can be downloaded for Android easily, but cannot be downloaded for iOS, guess which device I'll be recommending to m

The sad part is all the users who think that not providing the folks who own the physical instances of hardware the choice to install software from any location, is great for the end user. This option is present in Android. And you can use

This is the most upsetting part about it, IMHO. The reason Microsoft pays a salary to this person is precisely to get GitHub mentioned into these sorts of conversations -- even though it's widely known that GitHub doesn't support

The fact that you refer to those internal commands that are part of every Git installation as "projects" shows that you're likely unfamiliar with Git CLI. Because git is so large, every individual command is documented in a s
