made some tiny git zines to give out at a “git for beginners” workshop we’re doing

[emersunn@beige.party]

@b0rk Advanced beginner here: can I trust GitHub, and is there such thing as a local git?

[b0rk@social.jvns.ca]

@emersunn yeah you can use Git locally on your computer without ever using GitHub!

[jconde@tooting.ch]

@b0rk Oh damn my last commit was git init...

[emersunn@beige.party]

@b0rk That’s a relief! I’ll look into it.

[emersunn@beige.party]

@b0rk I don’t want AI to steal my plans for world domination! (this is a private chat, right?)

[kbm0@mastodon.social]

@jconde @b0rk I'm reasonably sure git init is idempotent...

[tanavit@toot.aquilenet.fr]

@emersunn

Are you serious ?

Git is fundamentally a _distributed_ versionning system.

@b0rk

[tkissing@mastodon.social]

@b0rk That looks awesome!

[cameron@sculpin.social]

@b0rk Neat! Are these available somewhere outside the workshop?

[jconde@tooting.ch]

@kbm0 @b0rk That's 5 min I am trying to understand what you mean in this context ha ha

[kbm0@mastodon.social]

@jconde @b0rk It should not hose your existing repo if you accidentally do a 2nd git init is what I meant. I hope....
