GOD DAMMIT STEVEN! NOT AGAIN!

You already stopped Steven in a prior commit.
Also, if this is an organization setting, I'm extremely disappointed in your PR review process. If someone is committing vendor code to the repo someone else should reject the pull.
- What if I told you a lot of companies don't have solid review requirement processes? Some barely use version control at all
  
  Sure, I understand... but if you're at one of those companies you should introduce it.
  
  I've seen people trade zip archives like Yo-Ge-oh cards useing excel as a source control manager so it could be much MUCH worse
  
  Those companies probably also pay ABSOLUTE SHITTER
- Fucking stop Steven, that absolute shitter

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not enough to delete the files in the commit, unless you're ok with Git tracking the large amount of data that was previously committed. Your git clones will be long, my friend
- You'd have to rewrite the history as to never having committed those files in the first place, yes.
  And then politely ask all your coworkers to reset their working environments to the "new" head of the branch, same as the old head but not quite.
  Chaos ensues. Sirens in the distance wailing.
  
  Rewrite history? Difficult.
  Start a new project and nuke the old one? Finger guns.
  
  If this was committed to a branch would doing a squash merge into another branch and then nuking the old one not do the trick?
- git clone --depth=1 ?
  
  No, don't do that. That modifies the commit hashes, so tags no longer work.
  git clone --filter=blob:none is where it's at.
- See this is the kind of shit that bothers me with Git and we just sort of accept it, because it’s THE STANDARD. And then we crank attach these shitty LFS solutions on the side because it don’t really work.
  Give me Perforce, please.
  
  What was perforce's solution to this? If you delete a file in a new revision, it still kept the old data around, right? Otherwise there'd be no way to rollback.

I can't see past the word wrap implementation in that UI. Mo dules indeed.
- Looks like the GitHub android app .

Wow, that's 300k lines of text that anyone, who clones the repo, has to download.

Do I really have to escape my dots in a .gitignore?
- I really don't think so. The documentation says nothing of the like.
  Maybe someone thought it's a regex pattern, where escaping dots would make sense. But yeah, it mostly works like glob patterns instead.
- nah
- Not usually
- Also don't need trailing slash

Why do I get the feeling this is Steven’s commit?
- sid-code steven is dumb-code

Creating a mucj larger dl. What a dick.

How long did it take Steve to git push every time?
- Once you push it once it is pretty fast.
- He assumed it was like a compile step.
