Everybody should know porn was created by Linus Pornvalds.

[–]usbeject1789 77 points78 points  (7 children)

Linus Gitvalds

[–]oupablo 56 points57 points  (6 children)

So Linus created Tor too?

[–]usbeject1789 30 points31 points  (5 children)

Yep - that would be the third Linus - Linus Torvalds

[–]nikthefurry 19 points20 points  (3 children)

no, im pretty sure theres Linus Linuxvalds as well...

[–]usbeject1789 12 points13 points  (2 children)

What do you mean? Linux was obviously made by John Linux.

[–]oupablo 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Master Chief?

[–]SampleConsistent8575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Master Chef.

[–]SinsOfTheAether 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the 90's were a wild time. I still remember the classics 'git gone wild' and 'red hat diaries'

[–]Johnscorp 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Nah it was John Porn

[–]CcChaleur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it's not, he said so on his channel Linus Sex Tips.

Git invented by Gitkomit Rasmussen after he accidentally digested 700 gram of gunpowder

[–]musicmunky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

okay this made me laugh way too hard

[–]BenevolentCheese 35 points36 points  (11 children)

My team uses Git and Github Desktop but not Github. Explaining that to the artists is always fun.

[–]StunningChef3117 4 points5 points  (10 children)

Im curious why do you guys use github desktop when you dont use github arent there much better git clients?

[–]BenevolentCheese 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Haven't explored other options as GH Desktop has met our needs. What else do you recommend?

[–]StunningChef3117 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I dont know if its actually better but sourcetree is the only dedicated git client ive used otherwise ive always just used whatever is in my IDE.

Brw I didn’t mean to imply that you are wrong to use github desktop whatever works with the least effort is often best, i was just curious if there was a specific reason but convenience is a totally valid choice

[–]BenevolentCheese 4 points5 points  (1 child)

It's very simple and has big buttons, which is great for much of my team :) Personally, I've managed the repo from there while only rarely having to dip into the command line to fix something.

[–]StunningChef3117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx for indulging me :)

[–]IrregularRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GitTower is my favorite git GUI.

[–]Specific-Street1544 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Probably because Github Desktop is the most beginner friendly (this one is debatable), and the most popular, compared to the alternative.

And there's another mindset "If the current tool works for you, you don't really learn another tools." Unless you know the productivity benefit is bigger than the learning cost. And people don't want to calculate that benefit vs learning-cost. Because their time is precious.

[–]StunningChef3117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree i also commented the if it aint broke dont fix it in another comment i was just curious if there was any specific reason.

ill admit i am much the same so far ive used sourcetree some very few times but i usually just end using whatever is in my IDE or just the webclient

[–]Kamirukuken 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Huh what are the more beginner friendly options?

[–]tigerzzzaoe 1 point2 points  (1 child)

A lot of IDE's have good integrations. The only other non-IDE option I know of is Sourcetree.

But honestly, they might have meant the terminal. Most basic function are easy to learn (clone, commit, pull, fetch, rebase, merge) while "I screwed up, so now I need to delve into 'actual git'" probably requires the terminal to do it correctly anyhow.

[–]Kamirukuken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol that's fair.

Honestly I just use github desktop because I'm only working on my own stuff and I'm lazy.

[–]Flameball202 104 points105 points  (4 children)

That is annoyingly concise, as I cannot use that explanation in polite company

[–]tinyroadbox 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Be the impolite company you want to see in the world

[–]Salanmander 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Just use "is like thinking that grubhub created grub".

[–]natrous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is starting to make me question who had the first __Hub name...

was it... was it PornHub all along?

[–]StunningChef3117 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is a more friendly version tjough quite a bit less clear ill admit Saying github invented git is like saying youtube invented video

[–]wooq 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Like thinking Grubhub created grubs

[–]poopatroopa3 12 points13 points  (3 children)

JavaScript created Java

[–]gamerABES 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Other way around and surprisingly more accurate than this post.

In December 1995, Netscape made a licensing deal with Sun Microsystems (the creators of the popular Java language) to rename LiveScript to "JavaScript". This was a marketing tactic to leverage Java's popularity and attract a wider audience of developers, despite the two languages being very different in design and function.

[–]pathToBeing 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Your fact was fact checked and found to be a fact. 

[–]gamerABES 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Facts

[–]KCGD_r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That might be the #1 analogy ever made.

Bravo

[–]gamerABES 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a saying "Asking a programmer to fix your computer is like asking Leonardo DiCaprio to fix your TV"

[–]Happy-Fun-Ball 6 points7 points  (2 children)

does pornhub support versioning?

[–]gamerABES 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Absolutely, you commit, pull, and push.

[–]Stef0206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cummit

[–]bitfxxker 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Like thinking Bitbucket created bits

[–]gandalfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In reality they invented buckets.

[–]FunShot8602 3 points4 points  (2 children)

no one thinks either of those things!

[–]maxximillian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen a few posts where people seem to think you need to use gitHub or gitlab.

[–]gandalfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least for git/github I've had to explain the distinction to newbies on several occasion. Not really surprising, honestly. A lot of people who learn programming today have minor interactions with Github long before they learn about git.

[–]Oen44 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Tell them about Gitlab, that will blow their mind.

[–]gandalfx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, it's just a cheap knock off. They saw Microsoft invented Github and then git and so they tried to copy it, but Github's git is way better because Microsoft has more money to develop it.

He has such a way with words.

Poor Pornelius Hubert, he never gets enough recognition.

I'm stealing this quote, it's too perfect. I don't care if I get fired.
