    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.

        Either that or they're doing the same amount of research they normally do. It's hard to tell.

          At least they didn’t call it a suppository.

          “GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”

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

                      But then why use

                      Term: explanation

                      and directly below that

                      "Term"-- explanation

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

                              An e-note is a full step above a d-note and a half step below an f-note.

                                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.

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

                                        I'm almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn't give a shit really.

                                          I think --explanation is the command line switch to output a brief summary of a git command.
