But I heard Linus "wrote git as a joke [on] a weekend coding binge, jacked up on blow in Vegas." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDeG4S-mJts

I never thought I'd say this, but: Hitler's got a point there

It's a long-running meme to use this movie clip and subtitle it in different ways. Some do a better job than others. My personal favorite is Hitler uses Git[1].

I can never enjoy these clips since I speak German. So I can't read subtitles that say other stuff than what the people in the clips say.

Saving Private Ryan dubbed in German was very confusing too. :)

I guess it is something one has to learn.

I do speak German and can still follow, because in Portugal we always subtitle except for children movies, so we learn to selectively pay attention to either subtitles or audio depending on the movie and our language skills.

As far as I am aware this happens in all countries that have a subtitles culture, instead of dubbing like in Germany.

However I am also not a big fan of these clips, given the historical relationship. Not sure how much one should actually it for jokes.

"However I am also not a big fan of these clips, given the historical relationship. Not sure how much one should actually it for jokes."

Grey area for me. It's a fictional work, AFAIK, based on some evil shit in history I generally don't joke about. The scene is nearly perfect for remixes to the point many great ones have been made with it. SO, on other hand, maybe remixing his downfall in educational and entertaining ways isn't so bad after all. :)

I'm the 'git expert' at work, and someone sent me this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDeG4S-mJts

That so didn't need the cancer thing.

There's another post on the frontpage saying to NOT use rebase.

This video comes to mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDeG4S-mJts

Git is fast, but it's a clusterfuck of weird command calls and esoteric flags. I kind of miss Mercurial in this regard, but I had to make the switch due to the popularity of Github. Having open source projects is a very nice way to show potential employers that you are a good asset.

I switched to BitBucket a while ago and have been so happy. It has free private repositories, HG or Git, and most other important features that GitHub has.

Everything about GitHub is great except for the fact that you have to use Git.

Funniest piece of geek humor I've seen in a while…
