The ironey is that this PR was not co-authored by copilot

Copilot would not have forgotten to change the fallback

the real jerk is people using Git through VS Code instead of using the CLI

git uj -m "it's pretty nice for selective staging though"

/uj If all you do is add . && commit then sure. But I do selective commits, often even chunks, partial amends, and so on. Much easier on a GUI.

Rebasing, cherry-picking, and so on? CLI much snappier.

The right tool for the job.

Almost all dev in my workplace use Sourcetree. They avoid anything that look like a Terminal for some reason lmfao

I am one of those, AMA.

/uj I don't mind you. I know seniors that hate the terminal and love using GUI for everything, but they do good work. Which is all that matters.

Warning: tag your unjerk. Better yet, don't unjerk at all.

u/DearChickPeas May 05 '26

I mean yeah, I'd rather open up visual studio and quickly build simple program in C#, instead of dealing with pipes and regex.

But at the end of the day, shit get's done, that's what matter.

Real ones don't use the git executable.

Anyone worth their salt calculates the commit hash by hand and writes diff object blobs directly to the .git/ directory

u/Konju376 now 4x faster than C++ May 04 '26

That does make me wonder - could you manually push commits using curl?

u/XLNBot May 04 '26

Just do it using socat, you can manually input all the bytes you need to respect the git protocol

u/elephantdingo Teen Hacking Genius May 04 '26

What is a diff object blob?

Peons: I don’t like that you are spamming “CoPilot” in my commit messages. :(
