So many people asking about git checkout and switch!!! 😂

🪇

TIL: git switch -c

Your outie has no fear of git bisect, or rebasing, or complex cherry picking.

git is legit what drove me out of software. I have never successfully merged *anything* without putting my repo in a state I can't recover from.

TIL about git switch

I learned git in 2011 and I can't change now!!

Art

your outie still uses CRA

your outie still doesn’t understand how the CSS cascade works and covers it up by just using tailwind

Why isn't my outie using the react compiler

Your outie prefers using MS Access to SQL.

ooh true fair enough haha

tbf git is the one piece of software where I think that still counts as newfangled!

Well, I opened `git help switch` and it says "THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL"… though I'm not sure what version I'm running

"I don't use newfangled git commands, I just switch DVCS entirely." #jj ;)

And quite often git checkout -

Same. These comments had me googling use cases and now I’m like welp, been missing this.

this is inspired

...what's wrong with git checkout -b? 😅

Your outie learned the modern commands instead of stubbornly sticking with the first thing they knew

because you can also use it to revert a file to given commit which is completely different, hence git restore

Thank you for your service

old habits - plus I have aliases set up 🤷‍♂️

they're all git checkout with different permutations of random flags chucked at the end

git restore is new and “EXPERIMENTAL” too. Trying to create less overloaded alternatives to checkout

Learned years ago but breaking muscle memory is harder than it should be.

it's perfect

Glad I’m not the only person Googling “git switch -c”

Wow, guess I’m one of today’s 10,000 to learn about switch

a) wtf is my outie b) once i learned git switch, i never looked back, underrated frfr

But I like to check out…

your outie still hasn’t added uploadable gifs to the Bluesky app

Is it wrong to do so? lol

i do this

I just make multiple clones and use each full clone as its own unique branch and then manually copy and paste the changes back into the original clone and then push that after deleting .git and re-initialising. All my github repositories have only one commit. I look like a god of coding!

Please enjoy each post equally

jj new

Can’t say I would enjoy that wellness session
