ELI5: What purpose does Github serve beyond simply acting as a public Dropbox for open-source code? I'm currently just a C++ noob wondering what the implications of not using Github would be if I ever had to work with a team.

[–]Akacopman 95ポイント96ポイント  (10子コメント)

Git is a form of version control, meaning if you fuck up somewhere, you can always go back to anywhere in the timeline.

Githubs main attraction is being a public git repo where you can have anyone contribute to your project, or to hold source code for anyone to use.

[–]Magrias 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

So host yours on BitBucket so you don't have to worry about waking up to find someone didn't like you and claimed it was a virtual rape application. For everyone else, just let them know there's another option and let them take the risk.

[–]Akacopman 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

I will probably setup a BitBucket and push to both BitBucket and Github at the same time, and use BitBucket as a backup site if a scenario like you said happens.

[–]Rubykuby 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

You can create a hook script that either causes your Bitbucket repo to push changes to GitHub, or a script of GitHub that regularly clones from the Bitbucket repo.

You do not have to manually interact with GitHub at all.

So stop, and tell them why. I suspect a lot will end up moving off github, and the few that are actually SJW bullshit enough to support this kind of bullshit don't deserve your contribution anyway.

[–]damonganto 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Thankfully Git is masterless. The repo you cloned is the full set of changes too. The repo continued to live on gitgud (and may still be in use, no idea).

Yeah if you have multiple developers it would be easy to just find one if you say lost your laptop. I use barracuda copy + git and also EncFS. That way my work is synced/backed up. It's sad that, if I were using github's private repos (not free also) I'd be subject to some kind of fucked up SJW account deletion. Say I lost my laptop and I tried to get my work back, oops, account banned.

[–]raze2012Noticed by senpai! 53ポイント54ポイント  (0子コメント)

Already been mentioned, but it can never get enough emphasis:

git =/= Github

To use your own example, it'd be like thinking of Dropbox as your local storage, which is obviously wrong. DB works very closely with your local space by design, but your hard drive never needs Dropbox. Same with Git and Github. You can setup your own Git on your computer and never have to connect to GitHub, GitHub just 'syncs' your work to their repository.

Likewise, an online host is still important. To keep to the metaphor: you and your team can do everything on one hard drive/local server, but it really limits your team's mobility. Putting your work into cloud storage like Dropbox helps alleviates this, and makes it easy for to add/remove members to the repository. Same with Github; they host your repository on the "cloud" so your team can access it anytime, anywhere.

And lastly, just like dropbox, Github has its own share of competitors that ultimately do the same thing (bitbucket, gitgud, gitorious, etc.). The reason why people stick to it is similar to the reasons of places like dropbox and Facebook; they are well known, and your friends/work use it.

There isn't anything you can't do on G+ that you can do on FB, but one of them already has an established user base and a content audience. As long as everything is personalty fine for them, they see no reason to move, and even if they do want to move, they don't want to move alone (and lose all your 'friends').

ELI5: What purpose does Github serve beyond simply acting as a public Dropbox for open-source code?

  • Miseducating people on how to use git.
  • Providing useless self-aggrandizing stats (stars, and worse, "forks" that mean nothing as they have no contributions). Check out OpenHub for something much more meaningful.

[–]BGSacho 14ポイント15ポイント  (3子コメント)

In order to explain the usefulness of GitHub, one would have to first understand why you want version control in the first place. I think there are much better resources than me out there, so I'll assume you know what version control is and why you really, really want to have it.

Before the rise of DVCS, version control systems were usually intended for private use. If you use SVN for example, you were limited to what you could do with a read-only copy of a repository, and obviously a project's authors couldn't just give out write access willy-nilly.

DVCS really changed that dynamic - now everyone can own a "copy" of the repository, and can fully benefit from version control without interfering with the mainline repository. Tinkering with and contributing to code is heavily encouraged(perhaps you've seen the "Fork me!" button on many project pages?).

Social platforms like GitHub are the next step in promoting collaboration. GitHub removes barriers to entry such as having to set up your own host if you want others to access your repository. The process of fork - change - pull request is so trivial that it makes contributing bug fixes or suggested improvements frictionless. This has lead to a boom of open source collaboration.

Projects on GitHub have a "pulse" to measure activity and "stars" to measure worth. GitHub projects get a wiki and issue tracker for free, which are often enough for a small project hosting its documentation and keeping a track of bugs and suggestions. Your GitHub activity also acts as a social badge - GitHub tracks the commits you make and the repositories you contribute to.

There are probably more features of GitHub that I'm not aware of(since I'm not a huge user of it) - but the general theme is to reduce friction and lower barriers to entry when developing an open source project. The aggregate improved social experience is GitHub's worth, and you can easily see it in action with the mind-boggling amount of projects hosted there.

[–]unsafeideas 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

Is GitHub removing friction more then Bitbucket or any other competitor through? GitHub was cultural must, but I wonder how much that had with it being so much better and how much of that was just hype.

[–]BGSacho 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Unfortunately I have no idea - I haven't used Bitbucket at all. I wouldn't even claim GitHub was "better" than its competition - just that the existence of social programming platforms like it really smoothed out the rocky process of developing an open source project from scratch.

You can think of GitHub like reddit - the infrastructure provides some value(easy upvotes/downvotes, aggregating content etc), but a lot of the value comes from the participants - GitHub simply wouldn't be what it is without the weight of all its users.

[–]unsafeideas 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I know what GitHub is. That is why I am wondering, the "social coding" boils down to:

  • mentions,
  • commits linking issues.

None of those has much importance for one person projects (overwhelming majority) or small projects (majority). I am not even sure whether it is only one having those features. On the other hand, the old google code had vastly superior project search.

[–]wisty 8ポイント9ポイント  (14子コメント)

I'll assume you know why version control is important, and why a modern VCS (git, hg, fossil, etc) is better than the older ones (SVN, CVS).

GitHub is just the latest version of SourceForge. A public VCS host, for open source.

99.999% of GitHub's advantage over SourceForge, GitLab, BitBucket, etc is that it has the source code tree on the front of the project page. I shit you not - that's why it's so popular.

It's not the "stars" or the git tutorial, it's that a programmer can read the source code without looking for the "view tree" section, then mess around trying to click on the right link (often, clicking on the tree would show you the patch - no fuck off, I want to see the code as it's currently checked in).

Really, that's why GitHub rocks. You google a project, and the first page you get lets you see the source.

GitHub is only decent because it removes the hassle of sorting through the poor documentation of projects like GitLab and Gitolite in order to easily allow multiple users to commit to your project using git. It's better than Sourceforge because Dice Holdings, the owner of Sourceforge, wraps binaries in malware to make money off their purchase of that dying part of the web.

[–]wisty 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think it's just how easy it is to see the source, which is essential if you're going for a badly-documented library.

Compare:

Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/?source=frontpage&position=1

GitLab: https://gitlab.com/tortoisegit/pcre

GitHub: https://github.com/coapp-packages/pcre

OK, bad example. PCRE is not really a badly documented library. But imagine a more typical "Javascript library to show a cat as an image placeholder" type library. Do you really want to download the tarball, just too see how easy it is to use?

It's always good to publicly state why you stopped using a service (on twitter, social media) so it makes other users aware. Otherwise it does no impact to them to lose a dozen users.

Sure, this is from october last year.

In the wake of the 4chan censorship, people were looking for new places to organize the information related to gamergate. Github was one of the largest repositories of knowledge regarding gamergate that I personally found at the time.

One tweet with a claim that gamergate is using it to organize harassment of women to one of the higher up github people, and he completely removed all information. Someone inquired why she lied about gamergate using it to harass women and she responded with 'just to piss you off'.

19th september all gamergate related stuff was officially banned from 4chan (it was unofficially being removed and banned starting a few days before that)

http://attackongaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/moot-leaves-us-all-for-dead.jpg

It doesn't look like they were in a relationship though, which led to moot being called a cuck.

So both Moot and some 4chan janitor were screwing around with two anti-gamergate SJW's which led to the current censorship of all related matters on 4chan? Sounds like some effective pillow talk.

[–]Kinbaku_enthusiast[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Moot probably didn't screw, but he was at the time trying various more business worthy ideas than 4chan and some of the people he hung out with must have changed his mind regarding this, most likely mallory.

But the 4chan janitor and quinn, yeah, that seems to be true.

Here it looks like a Github employee acted against a repo based on his personal views and/or at the behest of a friend, in furtherance of those views and/or in misplaced retaliation for something upsetting those views.

Presumably because Github employees have carte blanche.

The censoring of unpopular ideas combined with the extremely selective enforcement of language [1], in addition to the adoption of the "Open Code of Conduct" for use in their projects, signals to me that github is about to see a 20 couric shit land in their bed.

I don't think it helps to look at nations, because it isn't always the person who build it through ruthlessness that benefits from it.

And let's look at the persons you mentioned.

Kim Jung Un is head of a shit country that feels threatened by a US comedy movie. If he was less ruthless, he could be leading a more prosperous country and potentially be remembered by history as the guy that freed north korea from its oppressive system.

Genghis Khan was quite something. One of the reasons why he was so succesful is because he abandoned the common culture of giving advantage to your bloodline and instead rewarded people based on merit.

He did something very tolerant for the time when conquering cities; he gave high ranking jobs to learned men, so that they could among other things, build siege engines for him.

Not saying he wasn't ruthless, but the meritocratic nature of looking at things helped him succeed to build the second largest empire in history by square miles.

    If thats indeed the case then this imgur should be spread around at every chance you could get while also mocking their remarkable stupidity as a business.

    Because even though its their site at the end of the day and they choose how to run it, us onlookers are just as much allowed to laugh at them when they act like absolute morons.

    What's airport's law? I heard it the other day, too, but can't find a definition...

    I'm actually starting programming classes next month for my new major. Are their any other sites like Git or should I just make my own backups?

    [–]TheReverend403 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Git isn't a website, it's a version control tool and there's nothing wrong with it.

    Github is simply a service that acts as a user-friendly wrapper around Git.

    BitBucket is pretty good. Unlimited private repos, and free team private repos (5 members).

    And there is always GitLab to host your own git-Server

    [–]Ephem-eric [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    Actually, since /u/StupidVandals implies he'll be in school, even the five member limit goes away. Just add a .edu (or other educational TLD) email to your account, verify it, and you're automatically given an academic license with unlimited contributors.

    Rent VPS, install GIT or SVN, Backup to AWS.

    There are a few sites like Git, I don't know them off the top of my head but someone did list a few at the top.

    Also it's always good to make your own backups, even if it's a pain in the ass. That way you'll always have a way to roll back or revert.

    It appears NexxyLove had a history of fabricating evidence in order to pursue SJW goals via Github.

    Nexxy (from Gamergate wikia):

    Emily Rose, also known as Nexxy, or Nexxylove, is a Node.js / Arduino programmer who developed a homebrew security and point of sale system for the Portland, Oregon vegan strip club Casa Diablo.

    Oh come on, why is this a thing?

    [–]kgoblin2 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I'll be honest, I've never been comfortable with using something like Github or BitBucket as an activist information hub. I don't think that is what those tools are for... those tools are for helping software developers. If it ain't code it don't belong there.

    Which doesn't of course any way mitigate the double-standard that got the particular github "project" in question removed.

    To me the most messed up part about this is that he thought Leigh Alexander's Gamers are Over article was "feminist." Apparently ridicule bordering on outright indignation towards people for their hobbies, lifestyle, and social challenges is somehow feminist. There was only a single sentence thrown in to try to legitimize her polemic by citing harassment, and a later paragraph rationalizing away any criticism of journalistic ethics.

    He must really think that it's feminist to shit on people if those people are understood to be men.

    [–]Kinbaku_enthusiast[S] [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    Unfortunately, in common day parlance, it is a feminist thing. Just like the demonization of gamergate has been pushed in particular by feminist media (guardian feminist writers, jezebel calling gamergate a hate group).

    Now, I see myself as a feminist and I assume, so do you. But we must take responsibility for this if we want to salvage the name somewhat.
