Git Discussion Bingo

git discussion bingo WTF is detached HEAD state I hate git git’s design is so elegant I’ve used git for 10 years and I have no idea how it works commits are immutable snapshots just use magit git is a directed acyclic graph you have to understand the linux kernel dev workflow mercurial is better git is not github subversion was so much worse I only know 5 commands a branch is just a pointer to a commit the CLI is badly designed you should just read Pro Git rewriting history is bad just spend 15 minutes learning git’s internals something about "porcelain" merge sucks, only use rebase rebase sucks, only use merge I just do not care how git works content addressed storage subversion was better something about Linus Torvalds I just delete my git repo if I mess it up

A handwritten 5×5-style bingo card titled “git discussion bingo” contains common opinions and clichés from Git debates, with several squares marked by red Xs and green check marks. The joke is that developers recognize these recurring arguments—such as “just use magit,” “merge sucks,” or “git is not github”—and can humorously treat a typical Git conversation like a bingo game.
