> instead of the inside out

Now the name makes even more sense. I first read it as sh/git, but reading it as something that starts inside and slowly works its way out is now my preferred explanation of the name.



I am simultaneously revolted and fascinated with the brilliance of your explanation.


The name also plays well with the porcelain & plumbing metaphores of git.


metaphors. Not being pedantic, it just puzzled me a while to see what was wrong with that word.


what do you get when you cross a metaphor and a semaphore? a metaphore


So it's a metaphor that only a limited amount of people can use at any given time?


I never sem a phore that I didn't like.

¿


lol


A semi-metaphor?


This comment looks like an offtopic pun to me and feels distracting.
