On branch trunk
Someone who configures his default git branch name to be "trunk" clearly violates the "crazy people" rule

You kids with your iPods and and your git and your hybrid vehicles.
Next you’ll be telling us calling the trunk branch “master” is racist.

Is any of this informative, surprising, or useful?
Not in the slightest, so I guess this fulfills the usual tech blog standards

this is incorrect behavior because by ignoring the .gitignore it didn’t ignore the .gitignore. But even worse it totally invalidates the reduction of all of mathematics to symbolic logic that I had been working on.

git commits a file named "commit" with "commit" in it (on a branch named commit!!!!! (and the remote, repo and my dog is named commit also!! how is this possible??

What we have to ask ourselves is, what does it mean to “ignore”? 🤔

Imagine the hot girls in high school as git, and the files in .gitignore as everyone in this thread.

I am sure Linus was laughing out loud when he was writing that logic

Unlikely that Linus laughs at all.

/uj Why would there be any special logic for this? Git reads .gitignore to figure out which files to ignore, and then recurses to find any untracked files, ignoring any that were in .gitignore. It doesn't mean "ignore these files completely"; it means "ignore these for the purposes of determining untracked files."

Look i know he's hot and all but you should keep this stuff to yourself.

I use this fact with my team a lot. We all have various file types that we don't want to check in, but we don't care if others do. Of course, no single .gitignore could fit our quirky little setup, so this works wonders!

What does that say...
Oh, it's self reference. Haha cool!
I must be pretty clever for being able to read it.

user suprised when software does what user instructs it to do
In fairness that actually is surprising
[removed]
the surprising part is a program that does what it claims to do
The surprise is that there's software out there that both works and exists.
