12 hours until I have to decide if I dare do nanowrimo

12 hours until I have to decide if I dare do nanowrimo. My head is filling with worldbuilding ideas, but no plot. Are fictional encyclopedias a thing yet?

More seriously, I'm less rushed off my feet than most years, but I'm busy with lots of stuff, I'm not sure I can devote enough time this month to writing a whole novel. But I do want to devote more time to blitzing on a hobby for a little bit, especially ones where I have something to show for it afterwards.

Who ended up doing yuletide this year?

Is anyone trying NaNoWriMo?

(Usual disclaimer: Every year when people talk about nanowrimo someone gets really defensive and says "everyone who does NaNoWriMo thinks a 50k word unedited novel is a path to instant published success". I don't know anyone who thinks that, if you want to debunk that idea, please go find someone who believes it and don't try to persuade me :))

Oops, sorry. Yes, yes, yes, ignore all that completely.

What you already know is plenty to be going on with, and is already 80% of what most programmers would need to know about git day-to-day. The concept of different branches is not that complicated, but only really important for projects with more files/more people.

I don't think there's anything obvious you're missing. As long as you're committing regularly at all, I think it will become obvious which turns out to be useful later.

My last post was more about "this is how I think source control should work, but no existing source control systems actually do this". Except I failed to convince even the git experts, so it was probably not going anywhere. It's not relevant information for anyone else, unfortunately.
