0·1 month agoNot all linux systems are running a desktop GUI, for example…most servers. /edit to add or expand/ I use Etcher on my laptop but I use the command line with my server in the closet…plug in the USB, go back to my laptop and do everything remotely.
Also, as a linux user/admin for 25+ years I’ve seen these apps come and go. Inevitably the app gains so much popularity that the dev wants some money for it… so they add advertising to the app. Then some other app comes along to replace it, rinse and repeat indefinitely. If your shell commands are POSIX-compliant, they’ll last for decades or more.

“I’m going to be annoying you until you do something about it” It is recommending that you take some sort of action, that choice is up to you as the user. In fact, the older way of disabling the warning was called
advice.defaultBranchNameAFAIK git is still Linus Trovalds’ project and one thing he is known for is “you dont fuckin break user space”. That is acknowledged in the pull request https://github.com/git/git/pull/921
“will minimize disruption for Git’s users and will include appropriate deprecation periods”.
Linus is also a fuck-your-feelings kind of guy so deprecation_period == linus_date_of_death. No, I’m not implying Linus is racist/bigot, just that he feels that strongly about breaking user experience.
Git in of itself doesn’t give a shit about.
You’re right…and that’s why its unbelievable to me how some people are still (it has been nearly 4 years since that PR above) resistant to change this one little thing. This is just the initial branch that we’re talking about here. Git doesn’t care if you:
git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/xxxxxx/tmp/.git/ touch foo && git add foo && git commit -am "foo" [main (root-commit) 9c74dd1] foo 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 foo git branch -a * main git checkout -b bar Switched to a new branch 'bar' git branch -d main Deleted branch main (was 9c74dd1). git branch -a * bar git log commit 9c74dd18d493fec727e6ce9e4ba71ed356dd970d (HEAD -> bar) Author: Butters Date: Thu Aug 22 00:14:44 2024 -0400 foo
I just used the most popular/known example. Personally I haven’t liked GitHub since Micro$oft bought them. I’m ol’ school, 25 years in the biz so M$ really really leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth.
I’ll answer your other question in the other thread.
…but recommended to be changed every. single. time. you git init. https://lemmy.world/comment/11895670
No shit? Let me guess; you’re still using git like Linus intended it to be, decentralized, by emailing each other tar.gz’s
…which you get a multiline message telling you to change your ways (Linus doesn’t break UX)…every time you init…weird.
$ git init hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call: hint: hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name> hint: hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command: hint: hint: git branch -m <name>

unfair treatment.
We’re talking about slavery here.
sick of having to relabel
It’s not that hard…to be accommodating.
divorced from the social issues
from your point of view
the code doesn’t care
You’re right. Call it a controller and agent. I know naming is hard, but we’re smart enough to apply our lexicon.
never use the words master or slave ever again? What’s next??
Ah, the slippery slope fallacy.
We still use master over main
The default for new repositories on GitHub has been main for awhile now. You would have had to put in effort to change it to something else. You’re a stick in the mud.

Yes, it is huge in the history of Palestine since the UN partition plan https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/UN_Palestine_Partition_Versions_1947.jpg (note that the city of Jerusalem was given to neither side) I would wager that “after the fall” of Jerusalem, Bibi turned his head towards Gaza to “finish the job”. Golan Heights/Lebanon will be an ongoing genocide beyond Bibi’s and even our lifetimes.
