Engine rebuild of git? You mean "learn how to use it" . If you want to go with a car analogy, then it is more like you are going to keep on driving one car because you don't know how to drive the other. Git isn't brok

I guess 'large' is really a function of number of developers and rate and diversity of commits. I've been in a few situations where two or three of us were putting out several changes to the same piece of code rapidly (typic

Are you working with a large team? I find that tends to be when your "VCS muscles" really start to get exercised.

Even when powering electronics in the home, you have to worry about which sort of power the device needs. Does it need a great big 240V AC outlet, or just the regular 120V AC (using American values...)? Is the device DC powered instead?

To be clear, I think that the behaviour of git-reset --hard is absolutely appropriate. I am just correcting the overly strong statement: "No matter if you rebase, reset --hard, or any other "destructive" operation, you can

My point is that git-reset --hard can remove data from the working tree filesystem that never hit the DAG in the first place: $ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/joh

10 articles a month isn't exactly frequently. At the low end, you are suggesting that people throw more than a dollar per article at them. You shouldn't find it surprising that many people will baulk at that.

Certainly. --hard should only be used if you actually want what --hard provides.

by jlgreco 13y ago
To my knowledge, reflog won't help you get back uncommitted work that you nuked with git-reset --hard. Of course --hard is not on by default so... there is no issue here with git's default behaviour. > "Git's model i

Most of why I think it is nutty is because most of the reasons given to support disabling highlighting boil down to "I don't like this particular colorscheme". Which editors make it difficult to customize your colorscheme?

I use to own a PS1 and a PS2 (The PS2 being the last console I have owned). I never heard about these problems until now. You'd be hard pressed to find a 360 owner that doesn't know of the RROD. You'd be hard pressed to fin
