Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out.

At some previous jobs, the newer devs would sometimes confuse the two. Its a real thing.

Me I lived through svn, mercerial, and file vault. So glad we ended up with git as the protocol.

Hell you can set up a git + file server and just use it without any Hub (Hob/lab/berg) if your bare metal enough. It works.

You can literally run a single command to setup a remote git repository on a server that has ssh.

  Yep! And some emulators only do dev work that way now. N*ntendo made sure of that.

    sorry if I’m extra stupid with these questions, but how you add that as a remote then?

The Linux kernel still works off emailing patches. If such a large project doesn’t need a central repo, you don’t either.

I use self-hosted Forgejo because it’s convenient, that’s it

  It does technically have a central repo, but not the “forge” tooling around it.
  
  I do think I’m going to move my personal shit to self-hosted Forgejo too though. One project of mine is going to be closed source (don’t boo me, there’s literally no demand for “free” in that market, the target market generally isn’t interested in programming or hosting) and I don’t want the business logic side of it to magically end up in their AI models despite me refusing to allow them. Couldn’t care less about any of the other stuff, I’m not doing anything super high tech or special.

    Yeah, there’s git.kernel.org, but work happens on the mailing list, not there. If you just want a copy, you can get it there, but that’d about all there is too it.

I mean I would’ve preferred Hg.

But to the point, I think GitHub has been instrumental in the success of Git.
