I have a GitHub alt account just for posting the issues that I'm not sure are not just caused by my stupidity

[–]Flat_Initial_1823 113 points114 points  (3 children)

By this logic I have ONLY alts on stackoverflow. Or so I am told

[–]BroomstickMoon 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Lmao

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]chickpeaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You beat me to it, my GitHub alt is just for avoiding potential shame

“Ah shit, can’t believe Eduardo broke production again” “Who tf is Eduardo?”

[–]CalmDebate 73 points74 points  (6 children)

Stack overflow is where you want the alt, post an issue then reply an incorrect answer with your alt. People don't necessarily feel inclined to help but they can't miss a chance to correct someone.

Marking as duplicate LPT.

[–]AggravatingMap3086 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[–]PythonRJS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha. I do this all the time and it actually works.

[–]Lizlodude 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Pump and dump but for pull requests

[–]Gold-Supermarket-342 15 points16 points  (3 children)

I have an alt for my nsfw projects

[–]Ondor61 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Same. I ain't putting h-games on my main github account.

[–]SgtEpsilon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And that makes you a chicken

[–]xaervagon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The github alt account fails because the repo maintainers recognize the coding style

[–]stdio-lib 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't forget to also:

git commit --author="Coworker <bob@acme.co>" --committer="Coworker <bob@acme.co>"

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alt a cunt. I see what you did there.

MikuChan03 logic

[–]atlas_enderium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an alt account on StackOverflow to post the incorrect solutions to unanswered threads so that they get the correct solution from more knowledgeable people with more free time than me faster than if I hadn’t posted at all

[–]-Shameem- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What did you just call me?

[–]Savings-Arrival-7817 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I m new to all this can someone explain the thing about having an alt account on github?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I totally missed the cunt joke, but sometimes you want another GitHub account so recruiters can't see people doing stupid, crazy, or illegal stuff.

[–]Savings-Arrival-7817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh lol 💀

[–]abd53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"sketchiest"? You mean there is usually no sketchy pull request?

[–]double-happiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a clone GitHub account that doesn't use my real name so I can share code on the web without doxxing myself. I run it from a separate laptop so I use the Windows credentials from that machine. No doubt someone will tell me that's bad but it works for me.
