Holy fuck, that's a long phone number

[–] j4k3@piefed.world 70 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It is a duplicated repeating error because this clownshow of a website is managed by squirrels and ducks. 1-800-273-8255 would be a valid US number. Doubling 273-8255 is not, but probably vibe coded under management that should be purged by these results.

Hey! Don't insult ducks like that! This clownshow website would be about 20% better if ducks were involved.

[–] j4k3@piefed.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know. I was cursing at ducks an hour ago while trying to remember how to spell diatomaceous earth and the ducks were total fuckwits.

That could be platformed.

WAIT YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR, have you tried ape talk?

Well, I can't say that I have.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes I did. Just put it over there with the rest of the fire.

It's easier to remember if you sing it.

It's never too late to git merge --abort!

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@feddit.org 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But abortion is murder?!?!?!?!?

“Proper way to commit after merge conflict” sounds like a robot trying to save a relationship after a bad sex experience

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
git reset --hard <commit-hash>  
git push -f origin main  

i didn't see anything, officer

[–] martinb@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You should be forcibly kept away from production systems...

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

We had an intern do this once. We changed our server config to make sure it wouldn’t accept such operations.

Never use --force. Always use --force-with-lease.

Jujutsu (which is compatible with git) has a nice conflict resolution flow that doesn't break you workflow.

Conflicts are encoded into the commits, so that there is never a weird in between state that you have to deal with immediately before being able to do anything else.
Then you can use Jujutsu's easier history manipulation to resolve the conflict in the conflicted commits.

https://steveklabnik.github.io/jujutsu-tutorial/branching-merging-and-conflicts/conflicts.html

And you could always jj undo if you did something you didn't want to.

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Keep your commits small. Merge often. That will reduce the likelihood of terrible merge conflicts.

If you’re not sharing your work with your team mates for a long time, then you’re setting yourself up for trouble.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Also rebase is usually better than merge.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Been there too OP. Not a good place.

It's usually easier to find another job, it will reset your mind, and fear won't be driving you.

Or you could just commit what you have, comment "YOLO" and auto resolve conflicts and push.

I remember when similar screenshots circulated for how to tell if i am running jdk or jre, which is even more surprising.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No merges allowed. Rebase only.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

And if you can't figure out how to rebase, I definitely don't want you solving your own merge commit!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

See I wasn't really going to kill myself today, but the thought of dialing that long ass number is just to much.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

in life you commit to many things. you commit to yourself, to your partner, to happiness, to legacy.

when we die, is that like a push to origin?

when we die, do our commits all go to the big repo in the sky?

is god the maintainer? when you pray is that like a bug report?

so many questions...

[–] ranzispa@mander.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

Little branch, as our master says: We all have our feature to accomplish. Once our feature is complete, our faith will be up to the maintainer. If you were a well behaved branch, you will be allowed to merge with the master. If you weren't so, you'll be deleted and burn In the flames of reflog.

Google gives you results based on your prior search history.

[–] aliser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

git is like a minefield. stray away even a little bit from standard path and you are done for. I had git multiple times throw some obscure errors at me when trying some commands and then trying to undo/recover. how's "undo" is not a git command I don't understand.

If you git help, you could hash things out, rebase your commitments, and push forward to a better life. Then again I could just be cherry picking things.
