This screenshot is old (at least 12 years).
Dafuq is an e-note.
A pull-request to forked your reposotory obviously.
Go fork yourself.

GitHub likes girls but she knows I'd commit it
Wouldn't that be a rusty trombone?
Could be a trusty rump bone
Will Riker enters the chat.
Not without an e-note
I'm not here to shame kinks but holy hell bro.
Wow, finally doxxed yourself as The Blue Raja
Let fox news explain shirtballs.
An e-note is a full step above a d-note and a half step below an f-note.
Thanks, dad
A little less formal than an e-mails.
It's part of the new Business Douche language word salad.
Didthey stutta?
It's like intraoffice e-mail.

suppository
Thanks AWESOMEO

Pollo Request. What Walter White was always getting on his phone.
Ah, yes, the supergrown chicken... Pollos Hormonos.
A reposotory is a suppository you can share with others when asked with an e-note.
Supposotory*
It's the thing you insert inside your butt to feel better.
Repsuppository.
Shove this code back up your arse.
When i was around 12 years old i thought it was "respiratory"
Pronounced REE-poe-SOH-tuh-ree
Fox News viewers would need the concept of "sharing" explained to them first.
Sharing is a type of communism, of course.
Get that damn code Communism out of my country! No more Forking or Cloning! No more importing libraries either! We're going to build a big beautiful firewall and export all the unsigned binaries. Make Assembly Great Again! And no terminating projects because apps begin at compilation.
Don't tell them breathing is communism then
We're all sharing the same communal air? Tragedy of the commons. Someone must privatise it immediately!
That's why Elmu wants to go to Mars.
What you do with your thoughts and prayers when another dozen children are massacred. BY RIFLES. WHILE THEY WERE UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. AT A SCHOOL.
I'm surprised they didn't sneak in a swipe about open source being a socialist conspiracy to undermine American ingenuity.
This physically hurts me.
"forked" when you push broken code to prod at 5 on a Friday.
“CI” - “Come In” which is what your boss says when they ask for a meeting after you thought it was fine for that one line change to skip CI and it broke something
What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:
Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.
Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.
Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”

Oh yeah, I overlooked that detail.
Spell-check did though.
The Fox News intern probably didn't need a ton of water and the energy of a small country just to be trained, though.
Human needs more water and less energy, yes.
Get desalination plants and a closed loop manufacturing process and all you need to care about is energy.
Isn't facebook trying to buy a nuclear power plant?
They might even be trying to get an enrichment plant while they are at it, who knows?
*reposortory(sic)
I'm convinced that's ment to get people riled up.
Either that or they're doing the same amount of research they normally do. It's hard to tell.
From Fox News? Couldn't be.
It's 10pm, do you know where your Secrets are?
"reposotory"
Good news! It's a suppository.
sopposotory
Sopposotoro
Soppozuuuuuuuuuu !!!
That is also the first thing that popped in my head.
The suppository of all knowledge
And people say LLMs will degrade our collective knowledge lol
they both will
It doesn't matter. None of faux news viewers can read.
*repository, jeniuses
Fact-checking is one thing, but they didn't even spell-check.
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.
Well, – you see – a colon can never follow quotation marks, in traditional typography: only ever two hyphens~
I'm sure they could have afforded an em dash.
If these were answers for a high school test it would get a D or something for correctness. I can't believe an adult, a journalist no less, could be so off.
Its a bit charitable to call fox news journalists.
At least they didn’t call it a suppository.
“GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”
"Hopefully it will help with shit. Let's talk to the originating author, Aasish Pokhrel."
shit init
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.
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.
Repository: your code.
Fork: my code.
Pull request: u want my code?
in a *branch?
What do trees have to do with computers?
You'd probably spell words correctly though, right?
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
Repository: a collection of related computer code, like related files in a filing cabinet
Fork: a copy of a repository at a certain point in time, like a fork in the road, they diverge from that point
Pull request: a request that a repository owner incorporate your changes into their files.
Issue: Form of insult common to this community
I wonder More why was github on tv
This was when they either went public or were bought by microsoft iirc.
Ik
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.
Is this is where hacker named 4chan lives?
They should just have said it’s “like email”.
A series of tubes.
Woah. Things were different, at least 12 years ago.
Yeah this is about the comprehension level I'd expect from a typical Comm major lol.
Why is the headline in quotes?
Because trashy people never saw Austin Powers and updated their use of quotation marks to denote sarcasm.
Quotation marks were historically used to add emphasis to text, the way asterisks are used today. Old people who refuse to change and don't realize their way of writing is actively making fun of themselves still use them this way. These are also the people who watch Fox.
Meh. I am in my late sixties, and that was never proper usage. These people were merely always illiterate.
It's valid usage if you go waaay back, i.e. centuries. You also see it in some late 19th/early 20th century newsprint and ads.
Scare quotes are used informally, but it's not proper usage like a "news" channel should be doing. Which, fair enough, it's Fox "News." But it's already larger text and all caps - why is more emphasis necessary?

Then it should be THE GITHUB "DICTIONARY."
No, because the thing they are naming is "The Github Dictionary"; they're not applying scare-quotes to the word "dictionary" implying that what they've written is not really a "dictionary".
Forked: when you dongle a repo and create a clone
Commit: when you marry said code because the clone is yours
they would have been better off asking chatgpt.
how is fox dumber than AI?!?
"who is this 4Chan"
God, just stop already
They're so fucking stupid and that's exactly what they want to be.
Fox Business*
Here's the full video.
Enjoy
