I think "Not Invented Here". Meaning he wants to build everything himself from scratch despite there being alternatives he can use instead.

E.g.: Building your own httprequest library rather than using the existing one which is good enough.

Not Invented Here, the urge to rebuild the wheel because someone else did it.

I'm so fuckin tired of hearing x is user unfriendly, it's not intuitive enough.

Like fuckin yeah. Sometimes you have to actually learn something new to use something new when I first started driving it wasn't user friendly. I had to learn how to do it

does he? i was under the impression that linus considers it just as stupid as everybody else and its existence is somewhat unsettlingly like a separate organism that lives in our collective brain activity..

I must be missing whan you mean by remote/server since pull, fetch, push... All interact with remote copies of the repo.

Isn't that by design? I believe the intention was to offload that capability to an existing solution, usually ssh.

Didn't like mixing issue tracking with vcs. I also didn't like any VCS hahaha, I was just writing shit in literally notepad

Am I missing something?

No and, in fact, this was (and still is) a selling point of Git over the alternatives (e.g. Subversion) available at the time that required you to "check out" some code and no one else could check out/modify that code while you had it checked out.

No, you are not. People regularly equate Git and GitHub, though.

no, this is exactly what git does

Since jujutsu is Git-compatible it has very much replaced Git for me and is what I'm using for everything now. Its workflow is so good and miles ahead of Git.

I was trying out Pijul for a while before that and while it has a lot of great ideas and has a lot of potential due to the way its foundations work its interface is way too janky right now and missing features and nothing I've reported or the many changes I've submitted have been fixed/pulled since March. I'd really like it to be good but alas...

& The code behind Linux isn't ? People back then did some REAL sorcery with coding

There are tabs above like a browser

Wow C, CSS and JS files at the same level. You don't see this every day

How do you cleanly base your local changes against a new upstream version? Merges?

Rebasing is for advanced git users who knows what he's doing. If one does not know how to use it or not feeling comfortable in general, he can happily take his own code and try to merge it into the latest version instead. No one is judging.

For the rest of the world where projects are open-source, more often than not, not those projects inside a corporation where only the team lead is making decisions, it's a powerful tool to settle down conflicts sort out history.

One does not need to change the history again, if he's not comfortable with it. Just use git as if it's centralised VCS like SVN. No big deal. In fact, in corporations you do. There only needs to be one person who manages the repository.

I get why it exists, but yeah it's more trouble than it's worth in most cases.
