Unpopular opinion:

Version control is shit, just rewrite it every time you change something and need to roll back.

Convince me otherwise!

Yo mama rolls back into the pool.

If version control didn’t exist, I probably wouldn’t stay in the field 😄

@Fast-Nop that's a bloody big pool

@black-kite some of us like to live dangerously.

It is a chore but also a really rewarding one.

Someone changed some of your code a while ago that fixed something? Look it back up!

Wanna find out when you implemented feature X? Look it up!

Wanna find the magical code you did a while back and need in another project now? Look it up!

For smaller projects, it is probably indeed healthier to rewrite the code. But even then I would advise to use a versioning system regardless. Projects without one are just drafts or really small personal projects imo and should not be taken seriously.

As a nice bonus you get a neat "development journal" if you named your commits somewhat sensibly (or even better linked them with tickets/issues/prs). Nice for whipping up an overview of the software development after the fact.

But tbh, learning to merge/rebase stuff is a pain the first few times.

@C0D4 count me in.

I know it's a bad habit, but I push changes after a lot of uncomitted changes have been made on the local system.
