  • Huh. Never thought of it that way. I was never bothered by a long commit history at all. Search and filter tools in the git client always get me where I want.

    The one issue I have is when there are way too many extant branches and the graph takes up happy half my screen.

    But that’s more of a Fork issue than it is a fundamental one. The Fork dev could conceivably find a solution for that.

    Either way, I guess I see what you mean. I’m just not that strict about commits. Commits just for the linter aren’t a thing since we have a pre-commit hook for that, and typo-fixing commits… Well, they happen, but they’re typically not numerous enough that I’d find them to be any sort of issue.

    As for whether I’d really want to revert a particular change – while I work, yes. Afterwards, I see what you mean; i could probably squash 50 commits into 15 or something. But when I think about the time investment of reviewing every commit and thinking about how they ought to be grouped together before making my merge request… I have a lot of trouble convincing myself it’s a good time investment.

    Maybe I’d think otherwise if we had a huge team. We have maybe 10 devs on this project at any given time.


  • That’s a good explanation of what it’s supposed to do. That was how I understood it as well.

    But anytime I’ve tried it, I’ve ended up with conflicts where there shouldn’t be (like, I already solved that conflict when I merged earlier) and/or completely undesirable results in the end (for instance, some of my changes are just NOT in the result).

    So I just gave up on the whole feature. Simpler to just merge the source branch into mine.

    I guess, but at that point I can do that in your average JRPG or something. I feel like it would be more fun with people. Unless they’re paying the Texas game with all the cards in the middle. That one is complicated and you only have two cards of yours and I really don’t have fun with it.

    I don’t get slot machines. They’re not even slightly fun.

    I wish casinos had fun games with small bets. Like, I don’t know, poker where you can play several hands with 20 dollars.

    But as it stands, I don’t think I’ll ever visit a casino again. It’s either boring slots or you need to be rich to play the “real” games.

    So far it’s working fine, yeah. No need to choose among a zillion distros someone swears is the best, I know for a fact there are first-party drivers for everything, no need to fiddle around with CLI, it plays everything my graphics card can muster, and I don’t need to worry about game compatibility or whether Nvidia deigned to support my OS.

    Windows has a lot of problems, but if you’re just looking to play games without too much complexity… It’s as close to “it just works” as I can imagine getting without switching to a console (or limiting myself to the few games that work on Apple devices, I guess).

    Plus, big argument, it’s familiar. You can forgive more annoyances when you’re not learning something new. Humans are just lazy like that.
