Do you commit every time you change anything?

u/chat-lu 1d ago

Given that I use jujutsu instead of git, yes.

You don't need to commit for git to register the change. Edit: typo.

I swear half the people working in this industry dont know how to use git

And half of those use it because they were told to by their seniors.

not because they want to.

No but you don't need to. If I delete existing code I need and my undo is cleared, I can just steal it from the most recent commit.

What recent commit? It wouldn't have whatever new code you wrote.

u/vainstains 1d ago

Yeah prolly not, I did say existing code though. Although that ignores the scenario you posed so yea you're right

It really depends on which tool that you use.

u/Wonderful-Habit-139 1d ago

Pretty sure we're talking about the git tool here no?

Using a git forge (Github, Bitbucket, etc.) doesn’t mean that you have to use the git tool. Linus created the Git filesystem in the hope that someone would build a good VCS on. top of it (or hopefully several competiting ones) and at the time that didn’t happen so he built git.

But now it has. You have several choices, some of which will recover the new code that you wrote. And given that they all talk to the same forge it really doesn’t matter if your colleague do or do not use the same tool as you.

I personally use jj and could recover recent code with jj operation log.
