@AVincentInSpace @remington The Lemmy devs are infamously difficult to work with. Theyâve repeatedly shown an unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of the many problems that instance admins face. That has been a big driver in Beehawâs decision to move platforms, not just because of a difference in political views, and theyâve been pretty open about discussing it. Youâre way off-base.
@agressivelyPassive You should still clean your kitchen though, thatâs my point.
@agressivelyPassive @technom Thatâs a self-fulfilling prophecy, IMO. Well-structured commit histories with clear descriptions can be a godsend for spelunking through old code and trying to work out why a change was made. That is the actual point, after all - the Linux kernel project, which is what git was originally built to manage, is fastidious about this. Most projects donât need that level of hygiene, but they can still benefit from taking lessons from it.
To that end, sure, git can be arcane at the best of times and a lot of the tools arenât strictly necessary, but theyâre very useful for managing that history.
