In case of fire

Me burning to death fixing pylint warnings before I can commit my code.

- Melting because someone didn't configure the right profile and now isort and black are fighting over imports.

Why is the wrong version always the one that is posted.

The (in my eyes) correct (and iirc original) version is:

Git commit

Git push

Get out*

*as someone pointed out (and I remember it as well, but thought I rembered it wrong and corrected it, shame on me in this context) the last point may be originally "git out"
76
- i might remember it wrong...but was it not 'git out'?
  
  29
  
  It is

  Honestly I remebered it as "git out" as well, but that would be semantically incorrect and "get out" seems close enough.
  
  2
- Here git out is mentioned
  
  12
- That is so much better 👍
  
  7
- I remember creating an alias for “git out” which worked like teamware or meecurial’s “out” (outgoing) command to show you what you would be pushing to a branch.

Merge conflict

56
- Here at Company Inc, we continue to send our thoughts and prayers to the 38 interns who perished in the office fire of '07. Sixteen years later, we still mourn the loss caused by this unpredictable, unpreventable, and unlitigatable accident. We hope that, in time, the grieving families of those interns are eventually able to move on with both their hearts and their loved ones' funeral expense debts.

- Should've pulled first before starting your work.

  Sometimes my work takes a while and other people push in the meantime. Guess I'm dying the fire.
  
  7
- On a push? What are you merging there?
  
  6
  
  Ofc, you might be working directly on develop/master/shared branch, I know people that work in those environments (ew)

i read a reddit post years ago where a someone wrote a script that iterates through all the projects in their dev folder, for each project creating a new branch, committing and pushing.

they then aliased it to "fire" or "panic" or something like that.

not a bad idea really

48
- git-fire
  
  32
- As in one they'd manually run if there was a fire?
  
  10
  
  Exactly. The alias just points to the script which is executed.

Slight correction. In case of fire:

Git checkout -b firemyusername Git commit -am="fire" Git push.

We don't want to have conflicts with code versions when going in on a rush, better to create a new branch. We can merge all the conflicts afterwards.

37
- Oh man I hadn't seen a git checkout -b in years haha since they introduced switch and restore, never looked back

  I'll admit I just press the buttons in my favourite IDE and had to look up the commands to remind myself, but yeah.
  
  2
- Isn't that what git stash is for though?
  
  2
  
  Can't push a stash
  
  4
- Gonna need some semicolons or double ampersand in there
  
  1
  
  Nah, what I need is doble new lines of code blocks since this is markdown and it fucked the display.

Cause of death: 15 minute long pre-push hook

34
- Just
  
  git add . && git commit -m "sorry theres a fire" && git push -u origin feature/fire
  
  And run out. It will eventually finish pushing. Or not.
  
  17
  
  git add .; git commit -nm fire --no-gpgsign; git push -n origin fire/${USER}

In case of

Git commit

Git push origin main --force

Fire

*git out

- *git -tf out

- You could change it to git commit . to add and commit everything. But just in case you weren't up to date, you should probably do
  
  git commit . git pull -s ours git push
  
  For maximum chaos.

Counterpoint: Virtualized environment/remote desktop. The real computer is in a data center hundreds of kilometers away with world class fire suppression systems.

Counter counterpoint: If you're virtualized you might be working from home, in which case, that's rough, hope they manage to restore your house.

- With a laggy desktop experience i also can't really configure how i want? No thank you. It's bad enough i have to use Windows for software development instead of letting me install Linux

  I like it because I don't have any of the company's shit on my own machine. I absolutely don't trust them not to spy on my personal computer use if they had access to it. With remote desktop I close it at the end of the work say and it has no more access to my computer than I have access to their critical systems.
  
  In my case, their shit that we're required to use don't even support Linux so if it wasn't for virtualized environment I'd had to install Windows on my own machine.

Mark this shit NSFW. I could have viewed it at work.

And if your git repo is self-hosted on-prem, you'd better be helping pack it and carry it out.

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

9
- It should (at least) be:
  
  git commit -a -m "🚨🔥🚨" git push --force
  
  Better, create a new branch and push it to origin(?).
  
  Relevant The IT Crowd

  Better have not created any new files tho - git commit -a doesn't catch those without an add first.

First, git checkout -b omgFire, then do the rest.

This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Anyway any of you ever heard of ACID? Why aren't our undo buffers durable and integrated with version control? Squash and forget the individual keystrokes as soon as an actual commit is made.

6
I've got something similar on my office door that reads

In case of fire git commit -a git push git -tf out

6
Sorry to be that guy but I don't think it's smart to put this anywhere in public, keep this shit somewhere private as a joke

Commit message: It's lit🔥🔥🔥

If the flames are nearby I would be so reckless and execute git push --force.
I don't want to die for a merge conflict.
But maybe then the team will burn me later.

- Just push to a new branch

Another reason I just manually backup my project and avoid Git despite all my other developer friends shaming me. One command and I am out of there.

-2
- That doesn't hold up so well when you work with other people on a project.
  
  5
  
  Yes and no depending on what you are working on.
  
  0
- That doesnt sound like a good reason. What other reasons could you possibly have to do copypasta backups over what you can at least use as a diff based backup letting you still access any old version you want

  I just find frequent full backups give me more control and less surprises when I find out my code did not sync/commit or some other issue. Done it for 3 years and it has been very worthwhile. Saved my project from a loss so many times now.
