Rereading it, I now understand what you meant. I interpreted the “like regex” as an example of advanced git knowledge. I’m not sure the comma helps make it unambiguous though.
Yeah, reading it again and I can see that interpretation…
This is why you shouldn’t rely on yourself alone for proofreading your writing, I probably could have read that a hundred times and not seen another way to read it without someone else pointing it out
I think advanced git knowledge, like RegEx, is the exception, while the norm is to know the tiny handful of day to day useful bits
How is regex git knowledge? I guess you can use regular expressions with
git grepbut it’s certainly not a git-oriented concept…what. that’s not what they said. they are comparing git knowledge to regex knowledge.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. I too misunderstood the inflection.
no worries
I don’t even know how to respond to this considering it has nothing to do with what I said…
There are at least two ways to parse your statement, and they interpreted it differently from your intention.
I guess, if you ignore the comma…
Could’ve written like this to avoid the ambiguity: “I think advanced git knowledge, just like RegEx, …”
