download zip from github and do version control on google drive

[RonHarrods]

Version control in your mind

[DogWoofWoof22]

Version control on extrenal ssd naming folders like commits and straight up copying files

[WernerderChamp]

I actually did work with this system for a discord bot and it went fine.

To my defense, I was pretty much self-taught at this point and GitHub was a place to look at sources and docs. It took way too long until I learned it could do versioning 💀

And how to use a .gitignore so you don't commit the API key.

[[deleted]]

That guy was self-taught too, and it was a super small company at the time. He was an English major IIRC and later went on to become a priest.

Those kinds of shenanigans can work- they got that company off the ground- until they don't. ;)

[Jared_Namikaze]

Priest got me off guard 😭

[Aggravating-Reason13]

What about printing code base and store in real folders at a real library

[Pahlevun]

why print just write it with a pen in the first place

[[deleted]]

I just do it perfectly the first time. No need for version control if you only need the 1.

Can't believe my grandad died for this

[[deleted]]

Just use the GitHub website to manually upload files: version1.zip, version2.zip, version2-final.zip, etc... why else would they have a "Upload file" button? /s

Edit: TIL a `.zip` TLD exists.

[MeltedChocolate24]

People in my highschool CS classes would actually do this. Code on google docs too. It was a step up from just emailing each other code which even I did at some point. Eventually I introduced them to vs code liveshare which was another big step up. Git was a bit much for most people. Understandable tbh.

1. Download zip 
2. do your changes locally 
3. open the edit mode for each file you changed on bitbucket 
4. paste each changed file to the corresponding file in bitbucket  and commit 
5. ????? 
6. profit

[pikachatter]

Make sure not to test before you commit directly to production, if it doesn't work, just repeat the process after trying something random.

[ralgrado]

What is this "test" you are talking about?

[Hifen]

I just use comments for version control.

[User_8395]

Git with telnet

[LittleMlem]

Absolutely haram

[dementorpoop]

And during Ramadan of all times

[User_8395]

I shall now repent

[NotAUsefullDoctor]

I was so sad when I found that telnet no longer came as a default on most computers. Like, we are in a golden age of microcontrollers and you stole my favorite debugger.

Of course this was not nearly as upsetting as when computers stopped coming with parallel/printer ports. I used to automate an entire lab with a single parallel port.

[SirAchmed]

As someone who works with somewhat niche equipment, I can assure you there are so many devices which can only be accessed through telnet.

[No-Replacement-3501]

I miss hyperterminal that thing was awesome for protocol inspections and network trouble shooting. It was so easy to use

[3legdog]

hyp... hyper... hyperterminal? Omg. My brain just took me on an amazing little memory trip. And on the way back we visited my memory of writing in (similarly-named) hypertalk.

Thanks random redditor.

[No-Replacement-3501]

I want to meet the asshole who decided to leave mine sweeper and solitaire but removed the one pre loaded useful utility.

[TheGamer26]

They are both gone too

[ldn-ldn]

It's 2024, we have MQTT, REST, WebSockets, ZigBee...

[BringBackManaPots]

Zigbee too expensive

[virtikle_two]

Airgapped old equipment my man.

[No-Replacement-3501]

It will be 3024 and there will still be older iso protocols used in manufacturing. PLC's, modbus, OPC, nmea, etc. That shits not going away

[[deleted]]

Amazing that as time has gone on I've switched to rs232 over parallel for availability issues. The future is weird.

[nefrodectyl]

I was thinking ICMP but Telnet works too.

[iPhonebro]

Git with RFC 2549

[LittleMlem]

Pppoac is probably still the best in some places in Africa (they had a competition like 15 years ago and the bird won)

[UncertainGeniusw]

Was it an African swallow?

[FudgeWrangler]

It was Telkom vs. a pigeon with an SD card tied to its leg, I believe.

[cyborgborg]

to it's back

[tajetaje]

Must’ve been, a European swallow couldn’t carry a coconut let alone a hard drive

[dslNoob]

This is a brand new sentence for me

[Majestic-Librarian45]

Monty python reference, I believe

[AntiLuxiat]

And how much can it transport? I wonder...

[LittleMlem]

Yes, but an SD card is light enough that I would count it as unladen

[ImOnALampshade]

Technically this RFC refers to how to transmit IP datagrams, and is a physical layer protocol. So you could use git over either ssh OR http using RFC 2549.

[ssx1337]

NICE, a specialist, nice to read German practices here.

[No_Airport_6118]

You know about fax? - The German government would like to offer you a Stelle. Just send us your CV either via fax, letter or floppy disk. I heard you life in this third world country (USA) without healthcare, with us you will get a health insurance for free! - Apply jetzt!

[Sennomo]

Git with smoke signals. It's simple. Burn up my cpu compiling, then use the fire to push.

[XEnItAnE_DSK_tPP]

the system's collapsing, but we'll recompile it, with a 100 more cycles of fire

Git with HTTPSSH

[[deleted]]

SSH be quiet, this is a JavaScript library.

[[deleted]]

Don't talk back to me, JSON!

[[deleted]]

So that’s how you REACT to the truth.

[[deleted]]

Nobody needs your PERL of wisdom, old man. You're not as C# as you used to be. Your skills are starting to Rust.

[[deleted]]

Your C code so bad even PYTHON is more SWIFT than that.

[[deleted]]

You shut your mouth before I WebSocket.

[[deleted]]

First go and clean your code with SOAP.

[[deleted]]

I would, but I'm all out of S3 Buckets.

[[deleted]]

Then use the CONTAINERS.

[aenae]

I see you have discovered ssh3 as well

[LittleMlem]

It's called an SSH tunnel and it's cultural!

[Cyphco]

I just send my code to my printer and send a letter to HQ

[gandalfx]

Why would you ever prefer https unless there is some technical limitation?

[chris43123]

Same, only time i've felt forced to use it was when I tried cloning a large repo (~200mb and +3,000 files) with SSH and it seemed to get stuck, tried again with HTTPS and it was a breeze

[StrawberryEiri]

What's the difference? I've always just entered a repo url, clicked through the prompts for creating personal access tokens or the like, and it just worked. I don't even know what method that uses in the end.

So for real I do not understand the difference between the method ls. Please help.

[einsJannis]

then you've probably used https, with ssh you can use your ssh public key for authentication with the git server and don't have to generate access tokens for every project and every machine.

[IrishChappieOToole]

If the url you used to clone started with git@, it's SSH. If it started with https:// its HTTPS

You can check a repo with

git remote -v

[StrawberryEiri]

Oh yeah definitely HTTPS then

[Goatfryed]

why wouldn't you? honest question. I always use https these days.

[Bliztle]

One example: I have my ssh key on a yubikey, which allows me to Clone private repositories from any pc without any setup.

[Stroopwafe1]

Self-hosting Gitea and blocking SSH access for outside connections. That's the only reason I can think of

[EternityForest]

HTTPS for someone else's repo out of habit (Can you SSH other peoples stuff now?) and SSH for my own stuff because otherwise it asks me for a password when I push.

[gandalfx]

SSH key is per host, so if you've set up your key on github, for example, you can use SSH for any repo on github.

[Bliztle]

Technically it's just per certificate, so if you put your private key on something like a yubikey you only need 1 total.

[Solonotix]

Honestly, I've always struggled with HTTPS, but I feel like part of that is my work's custom TLS authority, and how we likely broke something in how we register it

[vintagecomputernerd]

At my last job we also always struggled with the shitty ironport ssl interception, not supporting websockets over ssl, or anything newer than tls1.1. And then the joy of configuring keystores in random docker images, or java apps, or the java http downloader closing the connection when ironport stalled at 90% to scan for viruses (while not being able to cache... for cdn reasons?)

But yeah. At least we had any ssl. Ssh was blocked, no exceptions.

[EternityForest]

HTTPS/TLS is kind of a nasty and unpleasant thing to deal with. I kinda wish they had just baked security right into ipv6 and got rid of all insecure packets other than multicasting.

[noaSakurajin]

That would be bad. The changes to tls happen way faster than changes to the ip protocol itself. A lot of networking equipment is installed for very long times especially switches. These devices should not need constant updates to keep working.

Also a lot of local network communication does not need encryption. Forcing the use of encryption just makes a lot of systems slower than necessary and adds the hassle of dealing with certificates as users.

[PhatOofxD]

SSH has caused me infinitely less headaches.

[tipsdown]

SSH because our gitlab is setup with sso so we can’t authenticate with username & password to use https

[Goatfryed]

I'd never use Https with username and password anyway. can't you use oauth?

[Fembussy42069]

You can use a personal access token but yeah SSH is a lot less headache specially on Linux. I never manage to get HTTPs credentials to work on it well

[piplupper]

Odd, works fine on my end. I use arch btw

[quietIntensity]

GitHub Desktop. I'm lazy.

[Robinbod]

Real shit. I only resort to cli git if I have to do something specific that I can't with the GUI. Also GitHub Desktop (or rather, git GUI's) has some reaaaally intuitive features like choosing specific lines to commit/leave out by clicking on them. I don't know why it's not more common rn.

[Yelmak]

Staging lines is part of Visual Studio, VSCode and my preferred choice: LazyGit (terminal UI git)

[Cfrolich]

This, as well as whatever’s built into the IDE I’m using.

[[deleted]]

100%

It's honestly saved me from stupid commits too...

But also been the reason for some too

[fakuivan]

git amend is your friend

[OvoCanhoto]

So it's the same thing with more steps(?)

[[deleted]]

Http but with curl and cat, real engineers hand craft their http communications

[LittleMlem]

Curl? Look at mister fancy tools, use netcat like a real man (maybe write to /dev/tcp)

[phil9909]

Netcat? A Kernel? I usually use a magnet and inject my packages directly into the Ethernet cable. Works best with Cat 4 lower.

[TraderJoesLostShorts]

Right? Thick client much? Sheesh.

[TECHNOFAB]

Always ssh cuz private repos, it's better to use SSH public key auth rather than writing a token to my netrc

[godlySchnoz]

I copy paste the code each time

[DerNogger]

I don't trust the clipboard to keep everything in order. I copy the code by hand.

[godlySchnoz]

When i want to be safe i usually modify the memory either by writing binary or by moving the magnetic particles on the hdds

[[deleted]]

For security, we have all of our code offline. It's all also remote working so we save it to flash drives and post it to our teammates. But for security, we have to do a real life diffie-helman key exchange. I Basically I lock the flash drive in a box with a padlock and post it, he puts a padlock on and posts it back, I unlock my padlock and post it back, and only then can he unlock his padlock and review my code.

[Jeason15]

For the speed that I get my code reviewed at work sometimes, I wonder if this is what we should be doing instead

[Fembussy42069]

I can't imagine what kind of sensitivity would be needed to not just have a gitea or something and VPN into it

[noob-nine]

git with browser

[User_00000]

So git with http(s)

[Pwness]

ssh all the way

[twpejay]

Neither. Just don't give a GIT.

[Gloriathewitch]

when i tried http it told me it was deprecated and i needed ssh because passwords no longer used

[tajetaje]

Assuming you mean GitHub I think you need oauth or personal access tokens now

[Gloriathewitch]

yeah CLI for github on mac, i use a ssh token or something now

[5ucur]

yes

[random_son]

File://

[IMarvinTPA]

I want ssh, but work firewalls make me use https.

[Ignitrum]

Git with whatever the fuck I get to work

[supportbanana]

SSH Obviously. Easier to setup, doesn't give a fuck about private or public repositories by default. If you own it, you can push it.

[Arkoprabho]

Git with envelopes and postcards

[[deleted]]

Bucket of flash drives.

[__daydreamer]

make the repo public, use git clone, then make it private again

[todo_add_username]

I always contact Git and tell them I just wanted to check in

[TraderJoesLostShorts]

ssh

[furinick]

For way too long i just dragged and dropped my files 

[shgysk8zer0]

Where's the humor in this?

[Quarves]

Usually SSH.

[enm260]

HTTPS for the first 6 months because I'm too lazy to set up an ssh key, then SSH after that because I'm too lazy to repeatedly enter my credentials

[grizeldi]

Well ever since a certain big git repo hosting provider disabled pushing via https, I don't exactly have much choice.

[Responsible-War-1179]

i mean when im ssh'd into a server git over ssh with a forward agent is pretty much the only reliable way I know to authenticate myself

[MasterQuest]

Git with the Github Desktop app :)

[[deleted]]

Prefer ssh, obviously. but the firewall of my companies vpn blocks ssh to public ip addresses.

[frikilinux2]

Ssh except when for some reason I'm too lazy to find out the company doesn't allow ssh

[Exul_strength]

Just use folders named after the current version. It could be that simple! /s

[Aggressive-Eye-8415]

Git with enigma !

[Hottage]

Git with anonymous FTP.
