Ha, yeah that’s one I remember using. I believe there were other implementations of interpreting javascript on the server. LiveWire, maybe? It’s been so long since I even attempted it, honestly. I will say, nodejs is clearly far superior to them all, especially with how lean a nodejs service runs on the server.
MFW I'm using sh variant #7923 and trying to write a for loop.
On that other site, I compared it to being a lifelong English-speaking resident of Chicago and being unable to order a pizza in Indianapolis without a phrasebook.
It does sometimes happen that something in there just breaks and isn’t easy to recover. But it can also be a matter of (inexperienced) devs just deciding, fuck it, I won’t try to merge it, I’ll just copy my changes elsewhere and throw away the repo.
I have never had git get into a state I cannot get out of. Even if that is a reset, checkout or clean. And those are very rare. How are people breaking things so often.
Learn the tools you use daily, it saves you a lot of headache in thelong term.
Oh yeah, but I’m talking about the internal Git state just genuinely being broken, for example: stackoverflow.com/…/git-commit-stopped-working-er…
Ultimately, if you spend half an hour debugging that, it just starts being a waste of time compared to cloning anew.
As for how to merge, yes, one should learn that. The problem is that the complexity of the code changes adds on top of whatever insecurities you might still have with Git.
I did put “inexperienced” in braces there, because even as an experienced dev, merges are sometimes just not worth doing. In that case, you could just checkout the branch a second time, but well, still not that different.

Pretty sure that’s actually it. Git has a learning curve and, for example, some naive rebase not working out as intended can be scary if you don’t know what you’re doing.
I’ve been doing this yesterday. Not because Git broke, but since Intellij kept pulling invalid configs from the cache, and that was based on some kind of path identifier it seemed.
