You probably shouldn't act like a dick online with your linkdin page in your bio dude. Just a tip.

I guess I'm striking a nerve this morning and am extra dense. my apologies. I guess people think I'm trolling but that wasn't my intention. Can you explain how I'm being a dick? I'm serious.

the recent fracas with the anti-diversity manifesto published on Google's mailing lists has people on edge, I think. there oughtn't be anything controversial about your statements, but the more right-wing people in tech have been lashing out lately.

Does anyone here have suggestions for git GUI? I used SourceTree for a few years, but a while back they started adding a bunch of tracking scripts, which I'm uncomfortable with. I can generally get by fine with the CLI, but whenever I need to do anything even slightly unfamiliar, I like being able to put on training wheels and have a GUI guide the way. I think git would benefit from a type of "training wheels" config…

There's quite an interesting GUI for the mac called 'GitUp' which draws a diagram of the structure of the repository (commits, branches) etc, and provides options to modify the repository. Good for helping to understand the structure of the repository.

> Luckily, my local Time Machine backups have always saved my ass. So you do backups for something that already functions like a backup system. That's fascinating. Did you know that Git does not lose anything? You might find 'git reflog' useful if you happen to screw up frequently.

When git garbage collection runs, I do believe it collects dangling commits.

Doing a "git branch backup" before doing something stupid gives you a more convenient "undo".

Alternatively, just git clone to a new directory before attempting some insane rebase operation.

The CLI/curses option "tig" can be handy once a year or so.

I was mostly offline last week and just heard about the manifest in passing. Thanks for the added context.

I mostly use the CLI, but as a history browser, I like QGit very much (tip: invoke as "qgit --all"). Also, I sometimes use "git gui" to split messy diffs into separate commits.

Personally I'm not right-wing... Actually quite the opposite. However, I feel that to randomly comment on some perceived shortcoming of the GIT community in a post meant to celebrated a new offering (especially when the comment is randomly about the gender representation given the current events, and the dismissive defense when called out), is disingenuous and "dickish".

If that wasn't the intent, then I'm sorry.

GitEye is a good Git GUI (Eclipse like). You can keep track of all your commits in different branches, you can commit, etc. and it has i.a. a GitHub intigration.
