A minor pitfall, is that git doesn't keep empty directories. So you may see people adding placeholder files in directories they want in git. ( '.keepit' is a popular name ).
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

A very useful thing is .gitignore files. Files, directories, and wildcard names can be added to a '.gitignore' file in any directory of the source tree and any matching files will be ignored by git. Great for generated files or configuration files that shouldn't be shared.

I haven't used Git before, but from Gud's info, it's pretty similar to SourceDepot. So as long as I keep a cheat-sheet of the commands, I should be fine.

There are also a ton of GUI clients for git. I like the ones that don't try to do too much so I know what git commands are getting issued. They are very useful for dealing with situations where you want to cherry-pick specific files for a commit or stuff like that. One client I really like is just the one built into Visual Studio Code: simple and straightforward. I also really like gitg but that might be a Linux only thing.

Hey. New board.
For GitHub specifically, the desktop GitHub app is pretty good too.

I have used GitHub quite a lot but kind of forget every time I take a week or so away. I've found this very useful: [link]

My computer is pretty good at multitasking.
I just upgraded my computer and starting using it and things like GIMP starting instantly are happening now.

What hardware are you using, Gud? I've been thinking of upgrading myself.

I just upgraded to a Ryzen 9 3900X which is a 12 core processor. Since I already had an AM4 socket motherboard (X390 chipset)all I had to do is pop in the new processor.

Ah, I've been looking at a whole new build with a Ryzen 7 2700X.
