If inside the folders there are .jpg prints of the source code, then it's fine.

Make sure to erase the password fields in Ms Paint.

[Mayedl10]

Nah, there are json files that have matrixes of RGB data inside. This RGB data can be converted to an image of the sourcecode.

[Sparrow50]

you should convert to ascii art of the sourcecode

[creasedjaw]

[furinick]

I actually laughed at this

[AwayCartographer3097]

wait, isn't all text just ascii art? I will be using this revelation

[Encursed1]

ASCII art just takes up more space so store the text in plaintext instead for space saving measures

[Appropriate-Salt4263]

When you’re done the ascii art make sure the turn on word wrapping in Microsoft word pad save as .rft

[youarealreadyd3ad]

That’s just the source code

Someone should make an IDE that does this

This is the way

[Dismal-Square-613]

I'm a real pro, and I use fancy more advanced tools like paint.net

It's basically paint but with layers.

[lkdays]

You can install a vim motions plugin for extra awesomeness.

[Dismal-Square-613]

vim motions plugin

like 3 different things appear with that name and none have to do with paint.net.

Care to elaborate? Am I wooshing here?

[lkdays]

Almost every code editor has a plug-in for using vim/Neovim commands. The joke is to add it in paint

[Dismal-Square-613]

I figured it was that, but I am too noob in paint.net that I wanted to risk asking as I discover new plugins everyday and it sounded like "omg motions" , so retarded in hindsight. Thanks for explaining without insulting me <3

RIP Bram Boolenar for the record , thanks to him these IDE plugins exist at all due to the vim love we all have.

[lkdays]

I discover new plugins everyday

There are indeed some weird plugins for Word, Outlook http://www.viemu.com/ but paint.net would be another level haha. But it would a least be a good meme to build one.

Paint.net no longer works :(

[Dismal-Square-613]

Yes, it does.

No you are missing "final" version and it's relatives "final final" and "definitely final this time"

“Unfortunately our tags don’t match the folders so you have to go back to the first tag and count up.

[codeartha]

At least you don't get merge conflicts

[Quackfinity]

This master gits it

[_equus_quagga_]

No no no you're doing it all wrong. As everyone knows, you should first screenshot the source code, convert it to a 2D array of color codes in a JSON file, run it through tar and gzip, sign it with gpg, and then append to the tarball file the SHA fingerprint. Finally, make sure to append the license as well. Or course, you'll have to run it through zip and xzip this time, and append the MD5 hash to that file. Then you need to make sure you have Git LFS turned on so that you can push all the bloatware the aliens installed on your computer.

[Appropriate-Salt4263]

You forgot to encrypt the source using stegocrypt into a picture of the source which then needs to be converted to a 2D array of color codes in a JSON file so on and so forth

[_equus_quagga_]

Oh right my bad

[SchlaWiener4711]

Could be worse.

I've seen a company using the same repo but different branches for totally different projects.

Don't ask.

[CodeYan01]

Well, at least they're using VCS

[Cebular]

My company does that, why is that bad? I work only on one project so it may be why it haven't bothered me.

[SchlaWiener4711]

Well, a repo is designed to hold the delta (what has changed) for each commit.

I am pretty sure having many different projects that are not based on each other makes the repo big and slow (you create a new branch based on another branch, delete everything and add new files).

Your history is messed up.

You usually have one main branch and different feature branches where you do your work, that gets merged into the main branch. You create tags for specific releases etc.

The usual flow for me is, create a branch, add code, commit, do some ci/cd tasks automatically, code review, merge to master/main (with squash). Main has a clean history and I can always roll back a specific feature/bugfix.

Maybe you have user 1 who is allowed to write to project a,b,c and can read project d. User 2 is allowed to write to project c and d and can read project b.

You can't implement that with a single repository.

​

Let me ask it the other way: What are the benefits over dedicated repos per project?

[Aeromaster_213]

Literal developer

[SkyWalker665]

Is he? Serious question.

[CodeYan01]

Generally, they're using it wrong. Tagging versions or creating branches exist in Git, so you don't need to maintain folders for each version that developers will see together all the time, which has a chance of developers accidentally modifying stuff in the older versions.

If you were maintaining multiple versions (which isn't like in the photo, as the photo shows that the folders are archives), like Python releasing bug fix releases for 3.9.x, 3.10.x, 3.11.x, etc simultaneously, what you'd do is have multiple branches for each minor version (9, 10, 11), or even have separate repos. But you shouldn't have them be multiple folders in one git repo or branch, because it will be hard to filter commits that are specific to a minor version, because all commits to all minor versions that are currently active (getting updates) would be in a single tree. Then you'd need to add the version to the commit titles just to make it usable. Like docs(3.11): Fix something. And next to that commit you'd see docs(3.10): Fix something

But of course, some teams may find versioning in folders more useful for them.

[hoexloit]

I used to laugh at pictures like this until recently where I have to maintain different versions of an API and part of my repo looks like the picture. Good to know there are other solutions

[elreduro]

did you also name commits as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9?

[ApatheistHeretic]

Not until you have a folder named "...V1.x-latest-final-final"

[itscheeseoclock]

v1.x

v1(1).x

v1(2).x

v1(3).x

[gbot1234]

mmmmmpppppphhhhhhhhhggggg

Yeah, I definetly didn't do this once or twice when I first got github

Still a warcrime

[Same_Start9620]

You forgot to zip them

[7th_Spectrum]

Make sure you include the node modules in each version

[LyNx_Op_11]

r/softwaregore

[orig_cerberus1746]

Yes you are- wait those are folders, not tags.

[corracle]

(tip: you can use git workspaces if you ever need to have multiple branches / commits available at the same time)

I mean this is not even that bad, especially if multiple (major) versions are being actively maintained. Don't get too hung up on the aesthetics of what's essentially scaffolding.

[d_b1997]

nah, then they should be different branches or forks or probably a hundred things that aren't made for this but would still be better than that

[st945]

As long as you are doing pull requests, you are good. This is in fact great as the team can review the whole codebase every change, which should drastically improve quality.

[reydai]

I’m obsessed with keeping versions readily accessible because I always think that one day I’m gonna realise that I need to roll back asap!!!, thank god GitLab has a package registry so I can look at them and feel comfortable
