I'd love to like the desktop app, but I just don't understand what it's doing under the hood when I click a button. When I click an icon, is it syncing my changes up as it pulls down, it just pulling down? I guess point and click is more scary to me when prod is on the line.

Why are you syncing directly to prod

[-] JonsJava@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I'm not? I just don't like UIs

[-] JonsJava@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Prod being on the line meant "I'm on main".

Yeah, I set up branch protection, but I hate the fact that some UIs are all "I know you just want to pull, but let's push while we're at it".

If I may shill for a moment, that's something I like about sublime merge - the buttons mostly map to git commands, and it has a nice log showing the commands it ran and their output.
