You have to be careful. You might end up seeing a typo and get pulled into the fray of opening a pull request to fix it.

Next thing you know you're developing nostr apps.

It's a truly terrifying rabbit hole. One must be careful.

🤣😂🤣😂

Waaaaait a minute. You can fix typos on there?!👀

🤣🫂 Nahh I’ll leave that to you guys, I’ll just snoop around the code. I like the purple looking code

I can’t believe it took me this long to realise what the name ‘GitHub’ meant in slang 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

Wait what does GitHub mean in slang? 👀

In British slang

GitHub = fools hub or idiots hub 😂

It’s only funny cos it’s so far from the truth 🫂🙏🏽 whoever named it had a good sense of humour, or had no idea

Good sense of humor 😂

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git#Naming

Torvalds sarcastically quipped about the name _git_ (which means "unpleasant person" in British English slang): "I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First 'Linux', now 'git'."[31][32] The man page describes Git as "the stupid content tracker".[33]

The read-me file of the source code elaborates further:[34]

> "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

>

> * Random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.

> * Stupid. Contemptible and despicable. Simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.

> * "Global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.

> * "Goddamn idiotic truckload of sh\*t": when it breaks.

The source code for Git refers to the program as "the information manager from hell".

Amazing 😂

I like him, he’s funny

I mean.....there are a lot of gits on there.....Could be rebranded to House of Fools as well.

Even the creator of git was a self proclaimed git. Linus himself 😂

He seems cool 😂

He created Linux? 🤯

Yeah he was the original, "You know what, I'm gonna make my own UNIX! With Blackjack! And Hookers!"
