Ah yes, the despicable crime of selling bootlegs can only be punished by permanent service to a billion dollar company. Makes sense.

Yeah I actually just prefer the command line, I’ve never had to force myself to use it. I even tried using VSC for a bit recently but i couldn’t get myself to like it. I just use nvim with some plugins in a tmux session now and its productive as hell.

Of course I don’t browse the web with the command line. For merging branches, I always merge main into the working branch first, check conflict files, and go through the file finding the diffs and resolving them. I’ve used merge tools before that were sorta nice but I had my own issues with them.

Maybe it’s the type of programming I do. I don’t do any web stuff, so file count is down. For larger code bases I keep a non editor terminal up and will grep -re for word/phrase searching, find to look for specific files, etc. I’ll occasionally use an IDE, typically eclipse based because embedded, but I don’t find myself missing the features they add.

Thanks for the explanation, that does sound useful.

That’s fair, there’s plenty of uses for source control.

I was speaking from a programming context though, as this is a programming community.

I really never understood why one would need a GUI for git except for visualizing branches.

I feel like I’m crazy seeing so many people using clicky buttons for tracking files. I need like 4 commands for 95% of what I do and the rest you look up.

You’re already programming! Just learn the tool!

And now there’s a github CLI tool? I hate to beat a dead horse but Microsoft pushing their extended version of an open source tool/protocol is literally the second step of their mantra.

A typo in the first paragraph of the article in a wiki wont make the 5th paragraph tear down the entire wiki.

I should take another look into it. Thanks!

Web assembly isn’t quite the same as a js frontend though, is it?

It’s typically for complex single page apps and has some weirdness with normal usecases, no?

I could be wrong but I was looking into it a few months ago and it seemed immature.

a front-end language

I love rust but this requires killing the web app and using basic html. which i’m also pro.

The endless packaging solutions for python is exactly the flaw that they’re talking about.

Packaging a python application to work over an air-gap is extremely painful. Half the time its easier to make a docker container or VM just to avoid the endless version mismatch pain.
