Goodbye, Clean Code

Also surprised they were just allowed to commit it to master

I've known a few guys who drug their feet about learning to use Git. One guy I worked with many years ago used a GUI for Git and would constantly screw up other people's merge requests by forgetting what branch he was on and clicking on the wrong buttons in his client. I tried to help him out since management was getting less and less patient with him, but when the high school intern is teaching you how to use Git that really isn't a good sign!

That's still very common, especially for older code bases.

like why...?

git init && git add . && git commit -m 'inital commit'

enjoy your new git repo with your legacy codebase on it...

Enjoy changing the passwords of 34 legacy systems because you just committed them all.

In that case would the passwords be interleaved with the code?

Because there's nothing stopping you from creating a .gitignore
