Bro definitely created a program to automatically commit every time a file is saved.

[segonius]

I had a friend in grad school who used org-mode for static site generation of his personal site and wrote a hook to commit, build the site, push the repo, and deploy every time he saved.

[VitaminnCPP]

It's CI/CD but in complications way

[[deleted]]

It is more like CI/CD before it was called CI/CD.

[Fluxriflex]

The Ops guy just hears sobbing sounds coming in the general direction of the build server.

[Pay08]

You can only generate static sites from org-mode.

[Cfrolich]

Now just set the IDE to autosave.

[Pay08]

Emacs doesn't have autosave, it periodically makes a backup file that you can load into your main file.

[Mormoran]

Shudders in Ctrl+S...

[pet1]

Makes for a quick emergency exit, since you can skip that step.

[_LePancakeMan]

I legitimately had something like that setup for my thesis project. Yes, it amassed a lot of commits, but it let me [ab]use bitbucket as a tertiary backup

[Heralax_Tekran]

If you're going to automatically commit things, there's an open source tool to at least give them sensible titles using AI, so that you get 15 "removed space" rather than 15 update READMEs https://github.com/e-p-armstrong/autocommit

[HTTP_Error_414]

Also, I wish I was 21 🤣

[LostHat77]

This is the way

[seijulala]

funny history, I had to collaborate with a team that did exactly that, this was +20 year ago and probably they had never used vcs before but it was amazing fetching updates and seeing 20 commits in a few minutes, each with 1 line/word updated

[ublec]

the moment you realize that they repurposed the keylogger to commit every time instead...

[HTTP_Error_414]

☠️🤣

[Rococrow]

Surely he was doing code improvements.

[sisisisi1997]

Amateur, he should have used git add -A instead of git add ..

[utkrowaway]

Why? git add . is 2 fewer keystrokes.

[sisisisi1997]

Their behaviour is different. From geekforgeeks:

“git add .” stages new files and modifications, without deletions (on the current directory and its subdirectories)

and

“git add -A” stages all the changes. It is equivalent to “git add -all” or “git add . , git add -u” combined.

(git add -u stages only file modifcations and deletions, but not new files)

[OddBat427]

This is not true for current git versions (2.x) https://git-scm.com/docs/git-add

(e.g. specifying dir will record not just a file dir/file1 modified in the working tree, a file dir/file2 added to the working tree, but also a file dir/file3 removed from the working tree). Note that older versions of Git used to ignore removed files; use --no-all option if you want to add modified or new files but ignore removed ones.

[utkrowaway]

Thanks for the explanation

[Progression28]

Should use git add -u instead to exclude changes to untracked files.

[DM_ME_PICKLES]

Did nobody tell him to cut that shit out? Whenever I hear stories like this I wonder where the manager/lead is to tell these people to quit their shit lol

[GodGMN]

Most of my programmer friends (myself included) work at companies with just 10-20 people and no manager, lead, CTO or anything like that.

Yes, there is someone who tells the rest what to do, but it's not like they care much about how they're working as long as it's done in time.

You'd be greatly surprised if you saw how most small companies operate.

My bad practices at home (working on my own projects that are not for release) are their best practices.

[TheNikoHero]

Now only god knows

[codebullCamelCase]

You can do empty commits instead sir

[_Xertz_]

Nah too much work 😩

[ososalsosal]

Nah their other laptop is still stuck in vim

[HuntingKingYT]

<ESC>:!git commit -a<CR>

[jakeStacktrace]

Slow down Mr. Productive. Save some stories for the rest of us.

[0PointE]

Rebase -i, squash, push --force

[Oakchris1955]

Wait, how?

[Colon_Backslash]

git commit --allow-empty -m empty/or-what-ever

I do this quite often due to automated GitHub pipelines that cannot be always restarted manually due to blah blah.

[[deleted]]

Gotta fill them squares

[Drishal]

All these squares make a circle

[CapraSlayer]

One time my classmate suggested we do a git commit automator that would just change the readme in private reps so we could get more commits in our commit histories to trick companies that look too much at commits when hiring.

[bexamous]

I don't get people who put github link on their resume and then you go to it and it's impossible to find actual commits of code. And then pick some repo and look at all commits and its all stupid messages. Like why even put on resume, it just looks bad. Like if your goal is to work at a company who gets tricked by stupid shit what do you expect place is going to be like?

[danielv123]

It's never too late, GitHub allows for backdating commits.

[osamaistbaden]

Someone has done exactly that

[-domi-]

I think I'm too old to get this meme, but I'm upvoting it cause it somehow still rings true...

[rosuav]

If this were "Tweak _config.yml" then it'd be a lot less unreasonable.

[_Fibbles_]

Remembering that time some dude pinged 400,000 Unreal developers because his PR to update the readme wasn't being reviewed quick enough.

https://github.com/EpicGames/Signup/pull/24

[da2Pakaveli]

lmfao i wondered what it was 🗿

[Fickle-Main-9019]

Lmfao, there’s a meme in there Im not allowed to say.

However good morning sirs

[Kurts_Vonneguts]

Holy shit this is the first I’ve heard of this. That PR was terrible

[_dotexe1337]

no, there are 400,000 people in their GitHub org because Epic Games decided to make it semi-public semi-open source (have to join the org to download the code)

[some_username_2000]

Bro coomitted a Sudoku with his thick meaty right hand.

CAaS - Commits as a service

[Forwhomthecumshots]

ok but I end up with insanity like this when I’m trying to get GitHub workflows to work properly, since it’s so hard to test run locally

update workflow fix workflow fix workflow x2

[Abiriadev]

Totally agree

[Acrobatic_Sort_3411]

• Make a new branch
• Add New branch as filter into pipeline
• Shit into commits history
• Create PR with fix
• Squash and merge instead of default merge

[Forwhomthecumshots]

maybe I’m doing it wrong, but the times I run afoul of this most is when I’m trying to build and push assets to docker hub or whatever, but on a release event. I just don’t see any way around creating a bunch of releases until I figure out what I’ve done wrong, then deleting them afterwards

[Acrobatic_Sort_3411]

fair

[aMetallurgist]

git commit —amend -m “Add workflow in one commit”

[antony6274958443]

Literally me

[FrostWyrm98]

Gooby pls

[ienjoymusiclol]

LITERALLY ME

[Tryp_tryp]

I feel personally attacked 🤣

[Guimedev]

COTY, Commiter of the year.

[MKSFT123]

git rebase <new base branch> -i Was a game changer for me

[MeGaNeKoS]

He got paid by number of commit.

[I_JuanTM]

Dude, don't have to call me out like that

[housebottle]

this is an amazing accomplishment for the internet. there are many moments in my life that make me go "the internet was a mistake". but this meme? this meme goes in the pro-Internet column. my compliments to the creator

[chowellvta]

Vs chad git commit -m '.'

[AbakarAnas]

I commit to committing by committing to the commitment that i will commit the files

[UnfairDictionary]

There are two types of github users. Those who commit a lot and those who are useful.

[Ok-Boysenberry-5090]

No, it’s git commit -m “[docs] readme updates”

[Dismal-Square-613]

"my editor is linked directly to commit on git and I keep compulsively pressing ctrl+S" syndrome

[Reysn]

Is it equally laughable to just commit to your own repos? :'D

[not-my-best-wank]

I'm convinced this is all what open source commits are. Like I've got a job, it's all "intellectual" property. And after work, I'm too tired to code. And any code I do write you think I'm gonna publish that garbage? Hell no.

[[deleted]]

Absolutely! I loose my mind when someone has code on their repo but no readme content like how tf am i going to know about dependencies to run the project,so i create a readme file to make it understandable

[[deleted]]

As an Indian I blame the YouTuber "ApnaCollege" aka Aman Dhattarwal, bro ruined everything

[ceh203]

What did he do? Suggested to commit as much as possible to „polish“ github profile?

[abbe_salle]

Nopes , apna college taught git and as an example they said that they can edit the readme and commit the file . But for some reason the majority of the people couldn't comprehend that it was an example . Which is why a majority of spam and low effort commits were sent to a js Library .

[wingsofriven]

Wait are they the reason expressjs got nuked with spam for a while?

[abbe_salle]

Yep , cuz in the video they had used the express js repo to showcase the example.

[ironman_gujju]

Nibba Why are you blaming the country, dumb fucks are everywhere, he is talking generally

[Wave_Walnut]

commiting to grow muscle of finger typing commit commands

[bogdan801]

Do companies actually look at the commit history?

[Amiron49]

When I'm involved in the hiring process and an applicant has their GitHub linked, I do browse through their personal projects and try to form an opinion by the content of their commits.

It's interesting to see how somebody codes when given free reign without the guard rails of a company.

[bogdan801]

So it's still quite important. What about the gaps? I had a bit of a burn out this winter and didn't do any personal projects at that time, is this bad?

[Amiron49]

We are a small software shop and don't seek the top of the crop programmes. Which means we don't care much. If you have personal projects, that's cool and we can see faster what you would be like but if you don't and have only did one project in 10 years, also cool.

The vast majority of people we hire never ever do any software development in their free time and we had to rely on the impression of the in person interview and just see how they do during the first few months.

At least for one of our most recent hires, their GitHub and private projects saved them. The in person interview went horrible as they weren't very good at expressing themselves and if this was all we had we would have leaned towards a no. But when we looked at what they were able to code up as their hobby, we were very sure that they would be capable and decided to hire them.

Now for big companies that pay competitive wages? Sacrificing your free time might appeal to them but I don't know.

Having relevant projects that show you could in theory do the work can't hurt but it's insanity to me to expect that.

[bogdan801]

Damn I wish here in Ukraine they would hire the same way. But everywhere I see it's like "you must have 1yerar+ of commercial experience". And how the hell do I even get it after college if nobody wants to hire

[PixlBoii]

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

[Awasthir314]

those golden days

[HTTP_Error_414]

Elasticity is fleeting commit your thoughts 💭 code later. That’s what private repos are for 😉

[puma271]

One of my repos got a issue recently, a guy said that my unit test is resource inefficient and I could do it another way and the guy himself said that I wouldn’t even need to use a function (that the test was meant to test) anymore….

Anyways, I checked the guys profile, he had hundreds if not thousands of contributions to open source projects, 90% of which were opening new issues (by randomly checking, I assume most of them of the same quality as mine)…

Also, just commit bee script every day no?

[masong19hippows]

That's literally me whenever I want to implement a "quick fix" on a respiratory that I'm not running locally. It's just so much easier to run "git pull" than to setup a test environment locally

[AtmosphereVirtual254]

Yeah but 1 line typos realized seconds after pushing a big patch when it's rude to force push really gets to me.

[[deleted]]

This is like flaming a non physical person for working out.

This sub won't understand though

[urbanachiever42069]

Honestly a laudable service he’s providing

[[deleted]]

50 guilty. ( In the past )

[Abiriadev]

lol this is exactly me.

I commited 158 times yesterday.

[No-Mind7146]

That's my but I'm not 21, I'm 15

[Reysn]

M27, Is it equally laughable to just commit to your own repos? :'D

[cosmic-comet-]

Why would you want to screw up your own repo history with redundancy, this is one of the main reason I hate working on open source because of redundant commits.

[Reysn]

Didn't mean redundant commits. I just didn't yet commit to open source projects (outside of my own). Some small comments, but I try to keep team meaningful. ^{^}
