"Are you familiar with uploading your code to Google Drive?"

I left the building at that exact moment.

Mother of all version control.

I need 2 more points 😂

Well that can hurt some people very much

"are you familiar with the concept of version control?" then leave.

Ha noobs. Real Dev's use email.

In all seriousness, if you're working on something alone, you can kind of use Google Drive as a backup - just place a project's folder inside Google Drive's synced folder.

@kamen
In all seriousness, then why not just put it in a private repository?

@kamen What happens when you screw something in a synced folder? Revert commit? Oh wait... You can't :(

@Jormungandr Google keeps revision changes.. last I checked anyway

OMG this got featured on Twitter

Thanks yall ❤

@dell-user Yeah, of singular files. What about a whole commit? :s

You can't make this stuff up...

@skiilaa I worked very hard

@runfrodorun I'm like "GIMME STRESSBALLZ" 😂😂😂

I hope that will never happen to me. Good call leaving ; )

@Jormungandr you can revert the commit if you use git into the google drive synced folder xD

What about Dropbox? :(
#sarcasm

@Sempros I'm not saying it's better than proper VCS, I'm saying it's better than nothing.

yes, zip it, don't forget included the .git folder, and upload them to GDrive :D

@inuvalogic and create .gitignore file too 😂

I got my GDrive encrypted, not sure how it's gonna behave :P

@flag0 Real devs use a physical drive to transfer their files to their colleagues.

@kamen in all seriousness Google drive is no replacement for version control, no matter how many people you are working with

Might as well use pigeons to sends messages.

golly jeez
we're close to 500

Why don't you archive your project and append date and time in the name. 😁

@tankmohit11 I do that with builds.

@kamen BitBucket hast free private repositories.

@polaroidkidd Yes, I know, GitLab also does, but the point is that git may be confusing for someone who has just started learning to program. Google Drive is not the right tool for the job, but it's still a fact that it can keep your code backed up and available on multiple computers if you're working on it just by yourself.

@kamen ah yeah, if you're just starting out I agree but I still highly recommend getting familiar with git. The basics are super simple and it won't take more than an hour to get the hang of it. Personally, I wished the git thing was done in the first week of my cs course.

@kamen dude,are you seriously trying to convince us to use Drive ?😂

@kamen then, um, Mercurial maybe?

"sure, I can try to set up automatic backup of repository's working copy to Google Drive; no guarantees it actually would work. Of course that would cost you extra"

@flag0 GOOD GOD MAN, THAT'S BARBARIC

@Jormungandr commit a file at a time. Taadah, problem fixed!

@Abel I threw up a bit in my mouth then

Hearing this and I think...

Version controls is a overkill. We are not facebook or microsoft!

@flag0 legends use Printer

Who does that. My brain is hurting

@kamen git is generally confusing, and totally overhyped for version control.

It's much better though than not having version control. Copying files around is not version control.
