I hope they copy the web interface too. I stopped using GitHub for my dumb little projects when Microsoft bought them and I can't be bothered to learn git. I will gladly host my future projects there if it's good.
How to become unemployable as an engineer 101.
I'm not an engineer and I am employed, I do a little scripting for fun. Software developers should learn how to use git but I'm not one :)
What use is Github / a Github clone to you without knowing git?
*self hosts gitlab with docker run
*still doesn't know git
':confused jackie:'
So what are you using it for? (Not criticizing, genuinely curious)
Generally, I tend to think more in the direction of that there is some misunderstanding happening, then people being stupid. Maybe that is just the optimist in me.
What exactly is meant when people say they don't know git. Do they mean the repository data format? Do they mean the network protocol? Do they mean the command line utility? Or just how to work with git as a developer, which is similar to other vcs?
I think if you use some git gui, you can get very far, without needing to understand "git", which I would argue most people, that use it daily, don't, at least not fully.
I don't understand all 3 :)
The web interface is great and easy to use. I liked just dragging and dropping updated files to it, very simple.
Oh, didn't even know you could do that, lol
