hello?
+ [10 years ago] offby1 Hey, who moved my cheese?
+ [10 years ago] ackpacket So, i'm learning to use git. My current question is about how users don't actually check out files, but instead work on them simultaneously and allow git to merge them later. Does this mean that I can only take advantage of this collaboration on files that git will understand how to merge? For example a word document that uses some funky structure from MS.. is that impossible to merge?
+ [10 years ago] Nevik ackpacket: it's not entirely impossible, but git will have a much harder time
+ [10 years ago] ackpacket So git is primarily for mergine plaintext
+ [10 years ago] Nevik (and afaik, git will by default not try to merge "binary" files in a non-trivial scenario, even though you can instruct it to try)
