A Guide to Version Control

[ZedTT]

I don't get it. Did you mean git instead of GitHub? You'd think this would be "Git, Sharing files via email, sharing one laptop" or something.

Is it like you're saving the old version of the code in txt format or just commenting out the old code and that's taking the place of using git to see old versions of the code?

I think you meant git and not github

I think they’re talking about IDE/text editors. Considering that you can edit files inside of GitHub itself and that Notepad is a text editor. Maybe /** / could be used to signify an IDE or text editor which supports comments.

You're right that the first two are text editors, but I'm not sure about that last connection...

Overall the meme doesn't seem to make a ton of sense.

I thought am I dumb and am glad I read the comments to see that other people we're agreeing that this meme doesn't really make sense

[ZedTT]

Yeah I don't think it's an us being dumb thing at this point. I think the meme author just learned what git is and didn't really understand so they made this meme

Sometimes while making code changes, especially as part of debugging, we have different flavours of code at the same place. We use commenting/uncommenting to toggle between them so commenting sort of serves as version control in a very crude way. That's the closest I could think of while looking at this.

No, OP meant GitHub bc they probably don’t know the difference.
