This screenshot is old (at least 12 years).
Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don’t know if I would do much better.
Repository: a collection of computer code for a software program (or app if you insist).
Fork: a copy of a repository so you can edit it without affecting the original.
Pull request: a request to the owner of a repo to bring in some changes you made in a fork.
I think I even got the word count down.
Repository: your code.
Fork: my code.
Pull request: u want my code?
in a *branch?
What do trees have to do with computers?
Why even bother explaining those terms if you only have that much screen space.
I haven’t seen the news release, but I would hope they are explaining those terms because they are going to have someone on to talk about github and they were planning on using said terms
You’d probably spell words correctly though, right?
Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.
Repository: a collection of related computer code, like related files in a filing cabinet
Fork: a copy of a repository at a certain point in time, like a fork in the road, they diverge from that point
Pull request: a request that a repository owner incorporate your changes into their files.
Dafuq is an e-note.
A pull-request to forked your reposotory obviously.
Go fork yourself.
Wow, finally doxxed yourself as The Blue Raja
Not without an e-note
I’m not here to shame kinks but holy hell bro.

A little less formal than an e-mails.
An e-note is a full step above a d-note and a half step below an f-note.
Thanks, dad
It’s part of the new Business Douche language word salad.
When you’re on the information superhighway, in cyberspace, sometimes you want to send someone some information (datums). Sometimes an electronic mail is too formal or cumbersome for that, so you instead send them digital text messages, basically cybernetic telegrams, called e-notes.
This comment has too many high syllable words in it. Could you please condense this down into an e-note?
e-note be like
telegrammemorandummemo but not on paper, oncomputermagic blinky box.
It’s like intraoffice e-mail.
Didthey stutta?
reposotory
A reposotory is a suppository you can share with others when asked with an e-note.
Supposotory*

Suppository is the opposite of a pull request.
That’s a push response.
Thanks AWESOMEO
Pollo Request. What Walter White was always getting on his phone.
Ah, yes, the supergrown chicken… Pollos Hormonos.
Pronounced REE-poe-SOH-tuh-ree
When i was around 12 years old i thought it was “respiratory”
Repsuppository.
Shove this code back up your arse.
“forked” when you push broken code to prod at 5 on a Friday.
“CI” - “Come In” which is what your boss says when they ask for a meeting after you thought it was fine for that one line change to skip CI and it broke something
I’m almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn’t give a shit really.
I’m sure they could have afforded an em dash.
Well, – you see – a colon can never follow quotation marks, in traditional typography: only ever two hyphens~
Yeah this is about the comprehension level I’d expect from a typical Comm major lol.
It doesn’t matter. None of faux news viewers can read.
At least chat gpt would have spelled it right for fucks sake.
Did they let a 6 year old write that up?
THEY GET PAID TO DO THIS. SOMEONE GETS PAID TO CHECK IT TOO.
Or am I being trolled.
You know how scam emails intentionally include mistakes because they want to filter out smart people? Same idea.
Reasonably smart people will see this and go “this is garbage”. The idiots will go deeper, and become loyal gop voters.
And people say LLMs will degrade our collective knowledge lol
they both will
What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:
-
Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.
-
Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.
-
Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”
The Fox News intern probably didn’t need a ton of water and the energy of a small country just to be trained, though.
Human needs more water and less energy, yes.
Get desalination plants and a closed loop manufacturing process and all you need to care about is energy.
Isn’t facebook trying to buy a nuclear power plant?
To be fair ChatGPT didn’t exist 12 years ago.
Oh yeah, I overlooked that detail.
Spell-check did though.

Fox News viewers would need the concept of “sharing” explained to them first.
Sharing is a type of communism, of course.
Get that damn code Communism out of my country! No more Forking or Cloning! No more importing libraries either! We’re going to build a big beautiful firewall and export all the unsigned binaries. Make Assembly Great Again! And no terminating projects because apps begin at compilation.
Don’t tell them breathing is communism then
We’re all sharing the same communal air? Tragedy of the commons. Someone must privatise it immediately!
That’s why Elmu wants to go to Mars.

Is this is where hacker named 4chan lives?
At least they didn’t call it a suppository.
“GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”
“Hopefully it will help with shit. Let’s talk to the originating author, Aasish Pokhrel.”
shit init
I wonder More why was github on tv
This was when they either went public or were bought by microsoft iirc.
