The problem is that these are “source control basics” that everyone needs to learn the hard way once it seems.

Waiting 3 months in between commits however is a really bad rookie mistake because you were worried about making a commit that wasn’t perfect.

the problem is that VS Code ran git clean if you clicked yes, which is completely idiotic behavior. No other git client, text editor, or IDE on the planet does that.

Either way, waiting 3 months worth of work before a commit is the big mistake here.

I think they hadn't ever used git before, and according to at least one person in the linked issue, vs code might have auto initialized the git repository for the user.

In fairness, ALL git terms feel backwards at first.
