back to article Git365. Git for Teams. Quatermass and the Git Pit. GitHub simply won't do now Microsoft has it

In all the furore around the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft, no one has asked the obvious question: what should the service be called after its Redmondisation? At Vulture Central, we live in constant fear of mixing up GitLab and GitHub. Two letters are all that stand between an amusingly snarky story and a grovelling …

      They did however rename Lync to Skype for Business, meaning that they have two products with Skype in the name that are totally different and incompatible with one-another. Given how MS then loves to try and bundle Skype (home) with Windows 10, it causes all manner of support issues here when people launch the wrong one then log a ticket because they can't sign in.

      Sure MS will manage to screw things up somewhere here!

        The renaming of Lync was clearly... stupid. At the time some of us assumed they were going to re-platform or even drop consumer Skype. There's clearly a bit of competition going on behind the scenes, and MS Teams voice and video only make it more confusing. But Redmond can afford to muck things up, because they have no effective competition in the space (talk about stupid branding: what slacker at Google thought that "Hangouts" was a good name for an enterprise conference system -- it's like the 7th graders took over the schoolyard!).

      Make sure that what you are doing while you have your back turned is opening up what ever is their favourite food. You will then have their undivided attention, at least until you get out of the way and let them eat.

      Posting when you aren't looking is okay. They're just pranking you and trolling everybody else, which is in the nature of cat.

      It's when they want to do it when you are looking, that you've got problems. Moreso if the cat makes more intelligible posts than you (this might be what's going wrong with amfm1?).

          Our CI system uses MSVC for making publicly downloadable builds. Every few months it stops working, and I login to the system to find out what's wrong. Every single time it's MSVC wanting me to re-authenticate, then refusing to accept my username/password.

          To reset my account, they want me to provide my mobile number. Not fucking happening. Ever.

          So, instead it gets a newly generated account using random crap email address alias, and that'll have to do until next time. Jeez I hate those wankers (MS if that's not clear).

    Which obviously is totally incompatible with actual Git, and requires Silverlight. But it has an app for your Zune.

    How about "Gitlost"

    BTW, Look up git in Wiktionary, the free dictionary:

    "Git is a term of insult with origins in British English denoting an unpleasant, silly, incompetent, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person. As a mild oath it is roughly on a par with prat and marginally less pejorative than berk. Typically a good-natured admonition with a strong implication of familiarity, git is more severe than twit or idiot but less severe than wanker, arsehole or twat when offence is intended.

    Linus Torvalds actually named the VCS system "Git". Maybe it was what he thought of most of the contributors sending him bug riddled Linux code (the first use of Git).

    The name still seems just as appropriate for Microsoft and it's programming users.

      Re: How about "Gitlost"

      Instead, look up git in the history of the Linux kernel. Has nothing to do with contributors to the kernel; rather the opposite, in fact.

    That isn’t the microsoft way; the first thing it needs is to divide the exact same thing into multiple tiers at different prices.

    1. Enterprise edition git: eegit

    2. Internet developer git: idgit

    3.Mobile app git: magit

    4. Federated k8s git: fkgit

    And to help guide you to the right git for you: gippy, your git assistant.

    OldGit

    OldGit—includes a plethora of appropriate mental images for UK readers, including imminent obsolescence, and correctly implies that all sentient users not yet victimised by Microsoft's "ecosystem" will be heading for something younger, better and less likely to become toxic.

    "Ecosystem": Trap floored with poisoned punji sticks—refers to commercial practice of attempting to entrap paying customers via contrived dependence, usually on false and superfluous grounds, thereafter to squeeze their wallets until they die.

    given a once-popular substitution for the S in MS, some unkind souls - not me, guv - might go for Git$
