Holy fuck, that's a long phone number

[–] j4k3@piefed.world 70 points 1 month 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.

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

[–] j4k3@piefed.world 6 points 1 month ago

I don't know. I was cursing at ducks an hour ago while trying to remember how to spell diatomaceous earth and the ducks were total fuckwits.

Lmao not willing to do the phone math rn, does that actually fit the numbers?

That could be platformed.

WAIT YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR, have you tried ape talk?

Well, I can't say that I have.

It exists too, it seems to be a support line from British Columbia, CA

Did you see that ludicrious display last night??

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

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

It's easier to remember if you sing it.

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

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@feddit.org 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)
git reset --hard <commit-hash>  
git push -f origin main  

i didn't see anything, officer

[–] martinb@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] henfredemars 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

git push origin master --force-with-leash

Don't do that to your master.

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 4 points 1 month ago

Also rebase is usually better than merge.

[–] Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

No merges allowed. Rebase only.

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

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

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

in life you commit to many things. you commit to yourself, to your partner, to happiness, to legacy.

when we die, is that like a push to origin?

when we die, do our commits all go to the big repo in the sky?

is god the maintainer? when you pray is that like a bug report?

so many questions...

Google gives you results based on your prior search history.

[–] Antagnostic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] aliser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

git is like a minefield. stray away even a little bit from standard path and you are done for. I had git multiple times throw some obscure errors at me when trying some commands and then trying to undo/recover. how's "undo" is not a git command I don't understand.

I don't get why people have such problems with this they even make memes about it.

Have you people never merged anything by hand or what? It's really not hard.

[–] mere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

it's fine for simple merge conflicts but it quickly gets messy when the two branches are trying to do opposite things to the same code

[–] tomjuggler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Or 3 branches..

it's maybe more annoying in gamedev. textures, models are binary files that can't be changed line-by-line.
