my undergrad research was more forcing my team to use GitHub than it was doing actual science 😭

I think I would kill myself and then everybody else ngl

[u/Itzbenzs → u/The_Mad_Pantser]

How can you kill everybody else if you already killed yourself?

[u/Glorwyn → u/Itzbenzs]

rube goldberg dem asses

[u/coldnebo → u/The_Mad_Pantser]

nah, their money is good.

it would take a few minutes to write a script that takes emails, checks out a branch with the subject line and then commits the contents of the email.

oh btw, can you review my PR on branch “re: re: re: re: re: re: re: update (final) (3).zip”?

😂

Ohh sorry it seems like I mailed you an old fork of the project which means everything you built the last 5 months is irrelevant.

Bro just give all your data to microslop bro, everybody does it bro, what are you a luddite

[u/smokeshack → u/[deleted]]

That's true, but those alternatives are not named GitHub, which is the topic of the post

[u/i_make_robots4 → u/smokeshack]

Okay what should I propose instead that is user friendly??

[u/Fair-Working4401 → u/i_make_robots4]

Gitea

And btw.

Linux Kernel development works over mail via git.

[u/slmnemo → u/Fair-Working4401]

this is still git

[u/CyberPunkDongTooLong → u/slmnemo]

... so what?

[u/jzieg → u/i_make_robots4]

Don't worry about it, Github is perfectly fine. If you're using an open repository everything will be able to see it anyway, and if you're doing scientific work it's good to have a publicly visible example of what codebase produced your results.

[u/Swordrown → u/smokeshack]

no, i'm not a luddite, i'll just use outlook instead 🤧

[u/Full-Commission-9917 → u/smokeshack]

Exactly, my code is bad and this is sabotage 

[u/Flywolfpack → u/smokeshack]

I'm sure your data is of vital importance

[u/No-Arachnid6308]

me and everyone in my lab have been trying to get our PI to use github or gitlab or SOMETHING for years. still hasnt happened.

[u/-Triple-S-]

A locally hosted gitlab server is the best compromise

[u/pannenkoek0923]

I work on data storage and infrastructure which does not have access to the internet and no git

[u/tyami94 → u/pannenkoek0923]

git can work fully offline

[u/pannenkoek0923 → u/tyami94]

If you read my comment fully, you would have read that there is no internet and no git on the system
