 Exciting announcement: @bleeptrack and I will create a 2.0 version of our open-source Git learning game https://ohmygit.org! π For the first time, you'll be able to play the game directly in your browser, using a *real Git* in a tiny Linux VM! And for people whose first language isn't English, the game will come with other language versions! Thanks to the @PrototypeFund for funding these often-requested features! 22 comments
@PurpleShadow Yesss, definitely! :) In fact, we will probably rely on community-made translations! @blinry @bleeptrack @PrototypeFund @b0rk This is such a great idea! @doctorem @blinry @bleeptrack @PrototypeFund I was very astonished about sponsors. It is a very german kind of game, I guess, saying as a resident :) @blinry@chaos.social @bleeptrack@vis.social @PrototypeFund@mastodon.social Firefish's URL parser is flaky @blinry @bleeptrack @PrototypeFund this is amazing, thank you so much!! We are teaching git at a local university and I was considering using the game in a workshop or a homework. @bleeptrack Yeah!! "People who teach Git" is an important user group for us! If any aspects come to mind you'd like to see included, we'd be happy to hear them! @blinry @bleeptrack @PrototypeFund This is super neat! I see that the current version for macOS is unsigned, are you considering a signed version for 2.0? @tbridge @blinry @PrototypeFund we hadn't really thought about that yet π€ currently plans go more into the direction of completely switching to a web version for easier access @blinry@chaos.social @bleeptrack@vis.social @PrototypeFund@mastodon.social My wife is learning git right now, and this looks just perfect. Even trying to teach the different versions of @adbenitez @blinry @PrototypeFund No decision has been made on that topic yet but it would be really neat to also have it mobile friendly :)  @blinry @bleeptrack @PrototypeFund I've installed it today, and here's the story https://hostux.social/@ClickHouseCI/111013371449224980 Besides that, git is my daily tool, and I have a lot of fun by commit --fixup + rebase -i --autosquash IMHO it's the best way to keep the repo clean, and almost nobody uses it v_v  @blinry @bleeptrack @PrototypeFund It would be great if you could ensure that *every* learner can use it and contribute to it freely and self-determined. Currently, the issues preventing that are mainly: * Development on GitHub (locking out young learners and learners from US-embargoed countries) If you need help choosing good open platforms, feel free to contact @Teckids! Are you curious how Git works under the hood? Check out the first technical prototype of Oh My Git 2.0: β¨ https://ohmygit.blinry.org β¨ It lets you try all commands of a real Git in a Linux VM *directly in your browser*, and shows you what they do internally! |

@blinry @bleeptrack @PrototypeFund Maybe I'll learn how to actually USE Git then, after all!
