Nobody in this thread implied that you are flaming, nor intended to insult you; the person you are responding to is not the person you originally responded to, and he is commenting about people in other threads flaming him. I resent having to explain this to you.

What the hell are you so angry about, seriously? People have less expertise than you, and that makes you upset?



He's probably angry because he's had a person with 15 years experience unstage 10 commits already pushed to origin (reset HEAD~10) then readd them to the index and complain to everyone that git tells him every file in his repo is conflicting after a merge. After a serious bout of ROFL he has to help the coworker use merge correctly weekly. After a while of this the person decides to manually fix the conflicts each time he has to push to origin there adding a comment in the git log that says :merged master back into branch.

So to all of you that actually know the difference between merge and rebase and what the difference between origin and local branches are :hattip:


>I resent being flamed because I don't fully understand the subtleties of zsh or nginx or or whatever other shiny toy someone else happens to find essential knowledge. Your world might not necessarily be mine.

That was in the post I replied to. It's insulting because it's accusing me of things that I didn't do. I merely am just a bit floored by the notion that following these instructions, http://help.github.com/win-set-up-git/, is asking too much of someone who is going to be using Git regularly.

I guess I expect too much and seem to be wasting my energy. I apologize.


I'll repeat this: he was saying other people flame him in those situations, not you.


I apologize for my confusion.
