Anyone knows where is the darn upload button on Github?

o11c

@IsmaelMiguel upload what?

Ismael Miguel

Files

In binary mode

(a.k.a. Can't open on notepad and paste on github)

o11c

seriously use a real git client, please

nhgrif

put it in your repository and commit.

Ismael Miguel

No

I already have too much garbage on my computer

I don't need yet another thing

nhgrif

22:02

Then you can't do it.

Well actually

Ismael Miguel

Then why do I have github?

nhgrif

you can do it command line

Ismael Miguel

Where's the command line on github?

o11c

@IsmaelMiguel If you have github, having git installed is not garbage.

Ismael Miguel

It is

o11c

22:03

How can you call yourself a programmer at all if you call the most important tool "garbage"?

nhgrif

No. It's not...

Ismael Miguel

I only use github to dump code

Nothing else

o11c

@IsmaelMiguel You poor, poor, thing

Ismael Miguel

I don't need github for anything else

nhgrif

← 21 messages moved from The 2nd Monitor

← 2 messages moved from The 2nd Monitor

Ismael Miguel

22:07

I have no idea where the bloody console is

nhgrif

What OS?

Ismael Miguel

No, on the website

I WON'T install anything else

o11c

Then don't use github

the web interface is only to add value to the command-line client.

Ismael Miguel

I even moved the Internet Explorer cache because I need every single free GB

o11c

git is, fundamentally, a distributed protocol

if you don't have a full clone on your end, you're not using it

Ismael Miguel

22:10

@o11c Why have a website when the website can't do the most basic stuff?

nhgrif

What OS are you on? Most *nix have git preinstalled

Ismael Miguel

Windows 8.1

o11c

@nhgrif eh, not so IMO

@IsmaelMiguel That's like asking "why does instagram.com exist when it's an App"?

Ismael Miguel

@o11c Instagram was a mistake

It shouldn't exist

o11c

Why does microsoft.com exist when you can install Windows?

Ismael Miguel

22:12

Same for that porn chat thing

That's different

o11c

Not really.

Ismael Miguel

Yes, it is

One is to expose an entire operating system

The other is to host files

o11c

Github is NOT a service to host files.

Ismael Miguel

A file hosting service that can't upload files!

o11c

If you want that, use dropbox or something

Ismael Miguel

22:13

Fine, let me fix it:

o11c

Github is a service to implement the git protocol

which stores history of code

Ismael Miguel

A source control service that doesn't let me upload source code!

o11c

binary files are necessarily an inferior system

and you're not supposed to upload, since you're supposed to have your own clone and push to the remote

Ismael Miguel

I can't clone my own repository

o11c

The git CLI program is central, everything else is primary.

You are wasting everyone's time.

Ismael Miguel

22:14

That's copying a file to the same folder, with the same name

o11c

Welcome to my ignore list.

Ismael Miguel

Please

I'm glad to join it.

Sad sad they when they disabled uploads...

5th December 2013 :/

Since I have no choice, how can I do all that stuff to get github working?

nhgrif

SourceTree

And google

Ismael Miguel

Who made github for windows deserves a shot in the foot. Why do I need to give my full name to install a program?

nhgrif

Because it uses that name on commit messages.

Ismael Miguel

22:23

And now it is looking for local gits

nhgrif

So we can know who committed what

Ismael Miguel

But I provided it on account creation

nhgrif

Account creation for what?

Ismael Miguel

Of github

nhgrif

Github.com is different from any app you use to manage your repositories.

Github is not a source control service. Github is a repository hosting service.

Ismael Miguel

22:27

This program is garbage

Seriously

Is there anything better?

The bloody thing died because I pasted files in a folder

nhgrif

What program are you using?

Are you using SourceTree?

Look

Please, loose the attitude.

Ismael Miguel

I'm using the github program

Dude, I'm incredibly ticked off

nhgrif

You've got a horrendous attitude for someone who is completely 100% clueless about how source control and getting free help from professional developers.

Do you want help?

Ismael Miguel

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't ask

nhgrif

If you want help, lose the attitude, or try again later when you have a better attitude.

I'm not going to help someone who is acting like this.

Ismael Miguel

22:30

Dude, I'm just pissed off

nhgrif

You're clueless and doing nothing but complaining about everything.

I don't care if you're pissed off.

I'm not interested in helping you if you're going to behave like this. No one is.

You're getting free help from professional developers.

Do you want it or not? The price of getting it is to at least be polite to those who are freely helping you.

I shouldn't feel like I'm pulling teeth just to help you.

Ismael Miguel

I'm sorry dude, I'm just completelly off the top

First, the broken chrome API that made me waste over 2 hours

nhgrif

I don't care.

Ismael Miguel

Now, this whole github thing

nhgrif

If you want help, you pretty much need to just follow step-by-step directions and not complain about everything. I'm about to have to run some errands. But I'd start by downloading SourceTree, rather than whatever else it is that you downloaded.

Ismael Miguel

22:33

I've downloaded github desktop

nhgrif

After you asked me and I said SourceTree.

Then you complained about Github desktop.... when I told you SourceTree.

I've said SourceTree several times now.

Ismael Miguel

I'm downloading it

nhgrif

I've never used SourceTree for Windows and I'm sure it's slightly different.

Ismael Miguel

And bugged

I am trying to clone a repository to an empty folder

And it keeps complaining that the folder isn't empty

nhgrif

Don't make the folder. Just let it make the folder.

Ismael Miguel

22:39

It will create it on C:\

Dear lord

Finally

nhgrif

Look in preferences. You can probably specify that somewhere

Ismael Miguel

Cue the music!

I did something right!

And it crashed and died :/

Alright, managed it

Alright, what now?

nhgrif

Move your file into the folder in Windows Explorer

The SourceTree should update the show uncommitted changes

Commit and push to remote.

Ismael Miguel

Alright

Commit options?

This is so confusing

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false commit -q --amend -F "C:\Users\Ismael Miguel\AppData\Local\Temp\qyybdw45.ste"

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false push -v --tags --set-upstream origin master:master
Pushing to [email protected]/ismael-miguel/memer.git
To [email protected]/ismael-miguel/memer.git
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://[email protected]/ismael-miguel/memer.git'

nhgrif

Pull from server to update local repository

Ismael Miguel

22:49

It's updated

But I'll try

Now I have a file on some undeterminate state that I can't commit or anything

nhgrif

probably a merge conflict

Ismael Miguel

With myself?

I got the files from the server, changed 1 with notepad++, tried to commit and it gave me that

nhgrif

I can't guess. When I get home, you'll have to link me to the repository or upload screenshots or both

Ismael Miguel

Well, I had to reject the changes and re-change the file and re-do the commit

Thanks a lot for the help dude

github.com/ismael-miguel/memer/tree/master/chrome

If you want to try what I've been developing with Malachi and Quill

And I'm really sorry for my attitude

I get like this when I endlessly search for what I want and can't find it.

Ismael Miguel

23:19

Dang, never though that github would be this problematic
