:Well then, welcome to the party. (Or grindstone. Or partying grindstone.) I had an inkling you were being a bit deliberate about it all (the "an user" bit), but there's worse out there. And, apart from the affectations, yup, I agree. Many who are competent at English as a second Language are better than some of those who ''should'' be competent in it as their first.

Note that in most (all?) graphical history viewers for Git time flows from bottom up, i.e. newest commits are on top, not on bottom as in this comics --JakubNarebski (talk) 07:21, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

  • This was bothering me. I was starting to doubt my own experience, and intended to switch to an old project to check. — Kazvorpal (talk) 22:16, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

I can relate. While I start with reasonable commit messages every day, working on one feature often results in

(good description of feature)
bugfixes for (description of feature)
another bugfix
damn
should work now
grrr
typo
I hate (some used library)

when I either need commit to deploy or I'm so sure it will work I don't test it deeply enough. If I would be using git, these could be merged, but I'm not. -- Hkmaly (talk) 10:51, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Once I made a commit titled "lotsa shit" 108.162.245.130 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

What does the line graphic in the left-most column represent? Smperron (talk) 13:03, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

This is the Git commit graph, in various ways of looking at a commit history git draws a graph like that to show branching and merging. 141.101.98.229 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Nice explanation folks. Makes the comic understandable/humorous to a non-coder. (unless you count VBScript) --DanB (talk) 13:16, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Nothing wrong with VBScript, though "coder" could be stretching the definition by a bit. (git it?) JChrisCompton (talk) 19:41, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
You seem to understand it pretty well now, DanB, judging by your edit history. --Aaron of Mpls (talk) 07:56, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Commit Cloud is a relevant tool to read commit messages from Github and build a word cloud from the most-used words. 108.162.214.41 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Mine actually lists a link to this comic. I'm laughing so hard right now. Okofish (talk) 09:35, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm very glad I'm not the only person this happens to. --Okofish (talk) 15:23, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Regarding "although he seems to have avoided the ; key for some reason": A likely reason is that messages are passed on the command line with -m and without surrounding quotes to save time, and the ; ends the command line. 108.162.221.54 06:03, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

haaaaaaands 162.158.74.15 21:18, 4 December 2018 (UTC)u2603

10/10 explanation of keyboard slams right there in that last paragraph 172.68.133.18 00:51, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

One thing that's bothering me is how Randall haven't fast-forwarded when merging "here have code" and "aaaaaaaa" into the main branch. It would've looked much less ugly! 162.158.183.127 21:33, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Am I the only one who sometimes types "HAANDS" into the edit summary field when I'm just commenting? (EDIT: oops forgot signature) {)|(}Quill{)|(} 14:47, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

i just used "https://xkcd.com/1296/" as a commit message 172.70.54.97 22:43, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

this happens to me too, but with code reviews: since we do it through irc because it's me and my friend in another country, it's also text that derives into dumbness (i once put "vfhdvbuhvfehefuvb" in a review xd) --an user who has no account yet 172.64.236.12 (talk) 17:20, 2 September 2023 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Ahoy there "an user who..."! If you're passing this way again:
  • You can (and should) still sign your Talk contributions. Use the ~~~~ at the end to datetime (and add the IP, before you get an account, but the datetime is the important bit!)
  • It's easy enough to get an account. If you're just like me and aren't satisfied with any username choice, fair enough, but I think you actually have a decent (ironic, once you join with it) username in your "...who has no account yet". That might be fun!
  • Except that, it's "A user...", not "An user". Because "user" doesn't start with a vowel sound. Not sure if this is you being deliberately off-beat (like your no-caps style of message), but on the off chance that English is your second(/third/etc) language. (And, if it is, then can't fault you otherwise. But maybe the quirks are deliberate...)
...just in case you notice this. I hope you do, but it's hard to know where you'll land next if you're jumping around on Random pages. 172.70.162.206 20:27, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

done, also, it was both on purpose and english being my second language, i have a really good grammar actually... when i want to :)

what was it, again? the signature thing

oh wait it's right there
