Working with Git

Monday, January 31st, 2011

I posted the RSS2POST source on github. This was torture for me. The concept of how to use the software was difficult and the help path was seriously flawed. I was able to figure it out, quickly enough, but there is basic philosophy involved that seems to want it to be a Linux elitist product.

The github repository is:

I think this will work, and if not it is a clue for anyone who wants to access the code. I have exactly 22 minutes of github experience, so don’t count on me for help.

I, of course, started coding with IBM Dos 1.1, so I am no stranger to command lines. I used HP-unix for several years in the 1990s, and have used bash on a projects about 10 years ago. I don’t like having to mess with the command line to get things working – I have moved beyond that. My brain is packed with too much information and I don’t like having to pull up stuff that doesn’t really have any pertinence to the current state of programming. I want to concentrate on code, not interface. Command line products like git should have died during the Y2K turnover.
