A pull-request to forked your reposotory obviously.

An e-note is a full step above a d-note and a half step below an f-note.

A little less formal than an e-mails.

A reposotory is a suppository you can share with others when asked with an e-note.

Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don't know if I would do much better.

Repository: a collection of computer code for a software program (or app if you insist).

Fork: a copy of a repository so you can edit it without affecting the original.

Pull request: a request to the owner of a repo to bring in some changes you made in a fork.

I think I even got the word count down.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 91 points 1 year ago

Repository: your code.

Fork: my code.

Pull request: u want my code?

Why even bother explaining those terms if you only have that much screen space.

You'd probably spell words correctly though, right?

[–] monkeyman512@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.

Fox News viewers would need the concept of "sharing" explained to them first.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 43 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Sharing is a type of communism, of course.

[–] Colonel_Panic_@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Get that damn code Communism out of my country! No more Forking or Cloning! No more importing libraries either! We're going to build a big beautiful firewall and export all the unsigned binaries. Make Assembly Great Again! And no terminating projects because apps begin at compilation.

I'm surprised they didn't sneak in a swipe about open source being a socialist conspiracy to undermine American ingenuity.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 60 points 1 year ago

This physically hurts me.

[–] derry@midwest.social 59 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"forked" when you push broken code to prod at 5 on a Friday.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

“CI” - “Come In” which is what your boss says when they ask for a meeting after you thought it was fine for that one line change to skip CI and it broke something

Good news! It's a suppository.

I'm convinced that's ment to get people riled up.

[–] Phunter@lemmy.zip 58 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Either that or they're doing the same amount of research they normally do. It's hard to tell.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 27 points 1 year ago (5 children)

But then why use

Term: explanation

and directly below that

"Term"-- explanation

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

Oh my gods I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. It's so upsetting.

I'm almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn't give a shit really.

If these were answers for a high school test it would get a D or something for correctness. I can't believe an adult, a journalist no less, could be so off.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago

Its a bit charitable to call fox news journalists.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At least they didn’t call it a suppository.

“GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”

Why is the headline in quotes?

[–] Colonel_Panic_@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

At least chat gpt would have spelled it right for fucks sake.

Did they let a 6 year old write that up?

THEY GET PAID TO DO THIS. SOMEONE GETS PAID TO CHECK IT TOO.

Or am I being trolled.
