@askcatgpt: Save this video for the next time a software engineer says something bout “deploying to vercel” Wearing alo 📍 catlabs NOT SPONSORED github vercel claudeai

Peter Kevin Reeves :

Your videos on AI are normally really helpful and accurate, but you completely missed the mark here. Yes, git is storage, but as you pointed out, Google Drive and Drop Box do that. Git is Source Control. And its power is in tracking the differences in files over time. You, an AI, and a whole team all work on the same project. You can see exactly what changed when someone adds code. More importantly, if something breaks, you can just revert the broken part, not everything else. You can see what features or corrections are tied to a specific code change. That is Source Control and that is what makes it powerful.

This is the worst explanation of GitHub. Every single thing is absolutely wrong.

rodolfomonterros83 :

It is not google drive for code, it's a versioning system which can be used by teams as it will not only work on versions of text files, but also branches of versions, fragments that can or not be incorporated to the main line (branch) and many complexities which allow software to incorporate/revert/join or dismiss certain fragments of work, so absolutely it's not google drive, is it a place where you can store code online, yes, just as much as any drive accessed by ftp access could do the trick, that's an equivalence right there, but no with git, and btw, GitHub is just a brand, you could actually create a git server if needed. Also the part where you're saying that it connects to services, it's also just a brand feature that's absolutely unneeded if you were not to work with a large team or make your work "versionable", that would be an extra layer that would be done in a much more efficient way without GitHub, that's not the reason to use it, it's a feature, and it's good, just not the actual purpose.

Genius explanation 👀

MikeL :

This is the BEST explanation of Gihub. Thank you. I finally understand it.

Ronaldo :

Great explanation…just missing the whole point of “Git” in GitHub. Git is a foundational layer of GitHub.

K A Y A :

GitHub is for version control keeping different versions of commits and enables collaboration for developers.

Happy Porter :

not exactly, u need to understand the fundamentals problem,it goes back to history…it’s all about managing revisions. to enable multiple ppl work on the same project, ppl put files on a network but soon ppl find they cannot work on the same file, the system blocks it or it’s a competing situation, the system can only save the changes the last person make, then there is svn to solve the problem, via versioning, but it’s not distributed, meaning the network cannot be accessible by ppl who sits outside the network, so git basically solved all the problems by using internet, ppl now can make different versions of files and manage changes, work on the same file in different locations, the changes converge happen by merge and resolve conflicts

Elise Hollowed :

Everyone says this misses the mark… but I worked at GitHub and this is how I described my job to my mom 🤷‍♀️

a_master_of_none :

Git (GitHub) is not object storage (Google Drive). Git is Version Control

SmacD :

One fundamental difference between git (the underlying tech GitHub runs on) vs things like onedrive, is that multiple people can work on their own copies of the same files at completely different times, and then it can all get merged back together, in the same file, whereas onedrive as an example will tell you that there is a conflict and ask if you want to download both files, or overwrite one. This only really applies to code files, and you can still get into situations where two people have edited the same line, or somebody delete a file that somebody else updated etc, but if you are using AI to write code it’s good at handling those sorts of conflicts on its own.

no :

another bad explanation

Totti :

Honestly I have nothing but positive feedback about this video

Khasanrya :

this is a great plain language explanation ty!!!

Miceli :

Really hot explanation! More like this pls

nosoyedi :

wtf I literally just told someone yesterday GitHub is basically Google drive but you explained it a billion times better

CarlosFts 🇲🇽🇦🇺 :

this is not accurate at all...

MartinS :

That's quite a bad explanation . Much better to think of it as Time Machine. It keeps every version of single files, whole folders or application code . Once you have a version of your files in github If you makes a mistake that breaks something, GitHub lets you hit "undo" and roll back the entire project to exactly how it was yesterday, last week, or 3 years ago . And don't limit it to code. Anything you want multiple versions of when you edit it you can store as a public or private document in GitHub.

eden.paradisus :

GitHub is a version control system....

shakmoneycocktail :

san :

theres no need to use git anymore local files or Google drive will work with claude codes terminal

aiissent :

This is terrible

Camry :

What is Google Drive

nimachi :

let me think, this person just kept on pushing and pulling, no stashing? staging? nada?

PandK2021 :

Thank you for this 🙏
