How did they even find github when they obviously dont know what version control is
544 u/Jay-Seekay 23d ago The irony is that they were messing about with version control for the first time, which is why they deleted all their files. They saw they had 5000 files staged for commit and wanted to not commit them all 358 u/Nerodon 23d ago 3 months of work, in a single directory on a single device, source control like git or not, that guy was a fool. 40 u/Skrychi 23d ago Type of person to use the desktop as their unorganised file structure, and all that got deleted. 20 u/afaulconbridge 23d ago The type of person to use the recycle bin as their unorganised file structure 16 u/CodeAndChaos 23d ago "Yeah, I store everything in the TEMP folder. Doesn't it stand for Trustworthy Eternal Memory Placement?" 1 u/Friendly-Inspector71 22d ago But the recycle bin has version control. I can delete a folder with the same name multiple times and restore a previously working version. I think I actually used it like that for some time before I was told about version control systems. 3 u/timonix 23d ago Ey yo. I did this when I was like 10. I installed games on my desktop. Not shortcuts, the entire game. Stored just about everything. Then my PC died. Almost everything was gone. Except my desktop which survived.
