[–] gladflag@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 month ago (2 children) That first commit is only ~1000loc and reads and writes commits. It was almost certainly not using version control first. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] smaximov@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago Good point. permalink fedilink source parent [–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 child) I've initialized repos and committed smaller first commits though. I'm not sure I follow this argument. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gladflag@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (1 child) It took about a day to get to be “self-hosting” so that I could start committing things into git using git itself, so the first day or so is hidden, but everything else is there. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/blog/10-years-of-git-an-interview-with-git-creator-linus-torvalds permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 child) Yeah I mean I'm not saying it's not true, I'm just not following your argument for why it's true. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gladflag@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) Context. I was replying to this comment claiming it was “probably” using VCS. It was probably initially developed using a different VCS (e.g., svn), and when git became feature-complete that "svn" history was imported into git. I thought explaining it was only a tiny project at that point would be enough. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 point 1 month ago* I know the context, I followed the thread, and I understood your argument to be that it was only a small project (you mentioned LOC). But then I presented a counter argument that I've made repos for less code than that, so I don't see how that's an argument for "obviously" not using a VCS. I sometimes feel like people throw around the term "obvious". 🤷♂️ To me it wasn't obvious because of my personal experience. You didn't use that term, but I feel like you presented your argument as an obvious fact. If you know what I mean. 😁 permalink fedilink source parent
