    Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don't know if I would do much better.

    You'd probably spell words correctly though, right?

      Repository: a collection of computer code for a software program (or app if you insist).

      Fork: a copy of a repository so you can edit it without affecting the original.

      Pull request: a request to the owner of a repo to bring in some changes you made in a fork.

      I think I even got the word count down.

        They should just have said it’s “like email”.

          You should make a pull request and fork them yourself if you care that deeply

            Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.

                Why even bother explaining those terms if you only have that much screen space.

                I haven't seen the news release, but I would hope they are explaining those terms because they are going to have someone on to talk about github and they were planning on using said terms

                  At least they didn’t call it a suppository.

                  “GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”

                    At least chat gpt would have spelled it right for fucks sake.

                    Did they let a 6 year old write that up?

                    THEY GET PAID TO DO THIS. SOMEONE GETS PAID TO CHECK IT TOO.

                    Or am I being trolled.

                    You know how scam emails intentionally include mistakes because they want to filter out smart people? Same idea.

                    Reasonably smart people will see this and go "this is garbage". The idiots will go deeper, and become loyal gop voters.

                                    For the same reason the whole title is in quotes: American literacy is very poor.
