So cool, I havent seen an ad like this in at least a decade. I use something called an ad blocker and also I switched to Kagi, so.... :)

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 hours ago

I remember when similar screenshots circulated for how to tell if i am running jdk or jre, which is even more surprising.

No merges allowed. Rebase only.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 40 minutes ago

And if you can't figure out how to rebase, I definitely don't want you solving your own merge commit!

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Keep your commits small. Merge often. That will reduce the likelihood of terrible merge conflicts.

If you’re not sharing your work with your team mates for a long time, then you’re setting yourself up for trouble.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

Also rebase is usually better than merge.

See I wasn't really going to kill myself today, but the thought of dialing that long ass number is just to much.

Google gives you results based on your prior search history.

“Proper way to commit after merge conflict” sounds like a robot trying to save a relationship after a bad sex experience

calls suicide hotline to ask for tech support

Don't hold your breath, they're pretty mid at their actual job.

git reset --hard <commit-hash>  
git push -f origin main  

i didn't see anything, officer

[–] martinb@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

You should be forcibly kept away from production systems...

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Never use --force. Always use --force-with-lease.

[–] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

I've mistyped that a couple of times to be --force-with-leash

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago

git push origin master --force-with-leash

Don't do that to your master.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

only do that in puppygit (with consent)

[–] henfredemars 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

We had an intern do this once. We changed our server config to make sure it wouldn’t accept such operations.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works -2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

It’s just a branch guard + properly implementing git user and team permission structures - you’re not “configuring a server”

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I wonder what you think "configuring" means.

Holy fuck, that's a long phone number

[–] j4k3@piefed.world 50 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

It is a duplicated repeating error because this clownshow of a website is managed by squirrels and ducks. 1-800-273-8255 would be a valid US number. Doubling 273-8255 is not, but probably vibe coded under management that should be purged by these results.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Hey! Don't insult ducks like that! This clownshow website would be about 20% better if ducks were involved.

Well, that’s easy to remember! 0118, 999, 881, 999, 119, 725...3.

Did you see that ludicrious display last night??

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yes I did. Just put it over there with the rest of the fire.

[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Your name is Morris Moss, is it not?

The irony is, I remember it perfectly.

It's easier to remember if you sing it.

Been there too OP. Not a good place.

It's usually easier to find another job, it will reset your mind, and fear won't be driving you.

Or you could just commit what you have, comment "YOLO" and auto resolve conflicts and push.

[–] tomjuggler@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I prefer to just delete the whole .git and start a new repository with the new version. We are pivoting the project, new name and new repo

[–] jaschop@awful.systems 33 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It's never too late to git merge --abort!

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@feddit.org 22 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

But abortion is murder?!?!?!?!?

If you git help, you could hash things out, rebase your commitments, and push forward to a better life. Then again I could just be cherry picking things.

Jujutsu (which is compatible with git) has a nice conflict resolution flow that doesn't break you workflow.

Conflicts are encoded into the commits, so that there is never a weird in between state that you have to deal with immediately before being able to do anything else.
Then you can use Jujutsu's easier history manipulation to resolve the conflict in the conflicted commits.

And you could always jj undo if you did something you didn't want to.
