When you teach someone to use git and all.of a sudden you are required to supply all the answers when they run into problems:/

I tried to point them to Google and they still keep coming back. Why the fuck did I do this to myself?

Tell them you will send them a link.

Make all links lmgtfy.

They'll get the hint soon enough.

I feel your pain. I set up an internal gitlab-ce installation for my team where I work; now I'm being asked to design & teach classes on how to use git.

Joel spolsky has a great blog post about this and why all devs should have their own offices

@hitchhiker42 mind linking it?

@cdrice I didn't do that but we have GitHub enterprise, I showed it to our server guys and they lost their minds. Yet, they have no idea how to use version control. I did this to myself and I will never forgive myself.

@mdalex https://joelonsoftware.com/2003/09/... sorta covers it

@mdalex If we had money for the project, I would have gone the github enterprise route also. I've got to say, as much as it worried me at first, I've actually really gotten to like (even prefer?) the gitlab interface & tools.

I think github may be doing themselves (and the existing github community) a disservice by only having a pay edition for self-hosting, but meh, that's their call. I'm actually pretty happy to have been thrown in the deep end administrating a gitlab site now; I dig it.

@cdrice I work at a huge company with 80k employees

@mdalex Oh, I feel ya there, too. I honestly don't even know how many we employ worldwide... our Wikipedia page says 207k as of last year, so I'll assume that's close, hahaha!
