renaming the main branch to 'canon' and side branches to 'heresy' (forking is renamed to schisms and pull requests/merges become ecumenical councils)

@16af93 if its main branch is canon then I'm calling my fork a fanfic :neocat_boop_woozy:

Quiet public

@0xDokki @16af93 headcanon [since fanfics can and do sometimes remain completely canon]

Quiet public

@Eryel @16af93 true, good point

Quiet public
@0xDokki @Eryel @16af93 headcanon is the dev branch
Quiet public

@Eryel @0xDokki @16af93

🤔 “branch merged to main”
🥰 “headcanon confirmed”

Public

@rabbit @Eryel @0xDokki

:neocat_reject: reverted commit
:neocat_approve: retconed plot point

Public

@16af93 @rabbit @Eryel @0xDokki I often tell new git users that git-rebase should really be called git-retcon.

Public

@rabbit @Eryel @0xDokki @16af93 i, too, initially thought this was about fandom (well, more general fandom)

Quiet public

@Eryel @0xDokki @16af93 if you use cgit with a default branch name of canon you get this delightful juxtaposition

git log: ..not just eggbug [HEAD] [canon] ..FLAGS to avoid suffering

@16af93 Taking the Cathedral/Bazaar metaphor more seriously than the essay did

Quiet public

@tfb what essaay 👀

Quiet public

@16af93 It was a famous essay by Eric Raymond from back when anyone cared what he had to say

catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedr

www.catb.orgThe Cathedral and the Bazaar
Quiet public

@tfb now there's an essay I haven't thought about for a long time!

@16af93 Retrospectives become ‘inquisitions’, issues become ‘controversies’, wikis become ‘psalms’ and evangelists stay exactly the same

Quiet public

@jamesbannan @16af93 Or, git blame is inquisition. Rebase, of course, is transubstantiation.

Quiet public

@veronica @16af93 also, fork maintainers are 'apostates' and deployments are 'proclamations'

Quiet public

Or "bulls"

@jamesbannan
@veronica @16af93

@jamesbannan @16af93 This is epic!

@16af93 *code review requested by the Spanish Inquisition

Public

@corpsmoderne @16af93 I was not expecting that.

Quiet public

@dan613 @16af93 yeah, nobody does 😬

Quiet public

@corpsmoderne @dan613 @16af93 Its chief weapon IS surprise.

Quiet public

@dan613 @corpsmoderne @16af93

No one expects the Spanish inquisition!

Quiet public

@16af93 Looking forward to git rebless --interactive

Quiet public

@elronxenu @16af93 git blame && git smite :P

Quiet public

@patterfloof @elronxenu @16af93 imagine git smite just send an email to the blame target with a clip from JoCat's paladin video

*
Quiet public

@patterfloof @16af93 Then git repent.

Quiet public

@elronxenu
git smite
@16af93

Public

@16af93 merge with NRs - Nikean Requests ?

Quiet public

@16af93 seems like something @jesopo would do

Public

@16af93 YESSS!!!
That's so good!

@16af93 watch out if one heresy is worked on by a guy named Horus.

Quiet public

@16af93 When the new release is a Canon Event... :neocat_googly_woozy:

Quiet public

@16af93 pull request == summoning a council

Public

@16af93
now that "keep the heresy alive" song is playing in my head. (can't recall who made it).

Public

@16af93

A blonde woman in military apparel holds a coffee cup close to her face. A caption reads "I'VE SEEN ENOUGH HERESY TO KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING."
Public

@16af93 @AmeliaBR not ‘heresy’ for side branches, but ‘apocrypha’

(Credit to my youngest)

Public

@leadegroot I thought of that too. It would only officially be heresy if the PR was closed without merging!

@16af93

Quiet public

@16af93
Imma Thomas Aquinas this motherfucker.

Public

@16af93 the local branch is 'blasphemy' and shall be 'put to the question'?

Public

@16af93 Git is, of course, 'the instruments'

Public
@16af93 @joshmillard In this scenario, Matt Mullenweg imagines himself to be both Pope and Emperor.
Quiet public

@16af93 Praised be St. Gitus, who forks and merges for our sins!

Public

@16af93 @freiksenet I can just see the code reviews now

A screenshot from Father Ted
Quiet public

@16af93 I'm gonna fork it and nail it onto some door.

Public

@16af93 “You let Father Dougal make a pull request?!”

Father Ted and his sidekick Father Dougal stage a protest against something or other. Probably a new bit of code they don’t like. Dougal’s placard says “Careful now” and covers his face. Ted’s sign, “Down with this sort of thing” is at his knees and is unreadable as it’s mostly obscured by railings. From an episode of “Father Ted” by Arthur Mathews and other contributors.
Quiet public

@16af93 i think branches are more like apocrypha

Quiet public

@16af93 the colour of the smoke emitted by the build server reveals the result of the nightly build

Quiet public

@16af93 s/"merge conflict"/"holy war"

Public

@16af93 continuing the analogy…
"LGTM" should be renamed to "Amen".
"some jobs failed" in CI/CD to "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned".
"All checks passed" to "Go in peace".
