I don't open source my code bc I don't understand git

[–] nastyyboi@lemmy.world 44 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So, you don't "git it"?

I'll escort myself out.

Git push yourself out* to make the obvious joke

We are the same

[–] gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

it's just linked lists of commits (except when merging)

I don't understand linked lists

In internet terms: It's just a soyjak holding a box with data who is pointing at another soyjak holding a box with data who is pointing at another {insert N-3 of the same soyjaks} soyjak with a box with data without an arm to point with

I don't understand what a soyjak is.

each commit points to the one before. additionally a commit stores which lines in which files changed compared to the previous commit. a branch points to a particular commit.

It's just a thingie

Almost... To be precise it's a Merkle DAG

It's perfectly fine to just make a zip available

Branchophobic

There's a guy out there who made a reversible NES emulator, meaning it can run games backwards and come to the correct state. He made a brilliant post on Reddit /r/programming linking his ideas for the emulator to quantum mechanics.

Then he was asked why he didn't distribute his program in git. He said that he didn't know git.

To me, that's a pretty good example of the difference between computer science and software engineering.

You can open source your code just by uploading it on some kind of cloud storage and setting it as publicly available.
