Rebase Is Not That Bad

Rebase Is Not That Bad
First panel: Developers screaming at git rebase like it's some kind of monster. Second panel: Violently attacking it anyway because the team lead said so. Third panel: Reluctantly doing a pull rebase because there's no other choice. Fourth panel: That weird dopamine hit when your commit history is suddenly all clean and linear instead of looking like spaghetti thrown at a wall. Fun fact: The average developer spends 43% of their career avoiding rebases until they finally try it once and become insufferable evangelists about it.

I Like To Refactor Often

I Like To Refactor Often
Oh honey, you call that "refactoring"? 💅 Moving a file to another directory while its commit history BURNS TO THE GROUND is the software equivalent of arson! Git is over there SCREAMING in agony while you're just standing there with that smug little smile thinking "I've improved the codebase!" Sweetie, that's not refactoring, that's WITNESS PROTECTION for your terrible code! Now all evidence of your past coding crimes has mysteriously vanished! *dramatic hair flip*

I Keep It In GPT Chat

I Keep It In GPT Chat
The modern developer's version control system: ChatGPT. Sure, we've evolved from USB sticks to Google Drive, but some of us have ascended to a higher plane of chaotic development—keeping our precious code snippets in chat history with an AI. Nothing says "senior developer with impeccable practices" quite like frantically scrolling through your conversation history at 2 PM during a production outage trying to find that one clever function you wrote last month. Git who? Never heard of her.

Who Needs Code Review

Who Needs Code Review
Oh, the absolute chaos of Git operations gone wrong! The meme brilliantly uses airplane imagery to illustrate version control disasters: The first plane represents THE COMMIT - clean, orderly, everything as expected. The second shows THE MERGE - still mostly intact but clearly something's off (just like when you merge branches with minor conflicts). But the third image? That's the nightmare scenario - THE CHANGES TO THE CODE I FORGOT TO STAGE - a crowd of people desperately evacuating what appears to be a doomed flight. That sinking feeling when you realize your critical changes weren't included in your push because you forgot to git add them first. And this, friends, is why we don't bypass code reviews. Your teammates might have noticed those unstaged changes before they became a production emergency!

It Scares Me: Git Rebase Edition

It Scares Me: Git Rebase Edition
The brave warrior claims to "fear no man," but immediately cowers at the mention of "git rebase." And rightfully so! Rebasing rewrites commit history—like a time traveler stepping on a butterfly, you might accidentally create 47 merge conflicts and an alternate timeline where your project never existed. Senior devs break into cold sweats when forced to rebase a long-lived feature branch. The command should come with its own horror movie soundtrack and a dialog box that asks "Are you ABSOLUTELY certain? Your teammates might hunt you down."

Version Control Nightmare

Version Control Nightmare
That face when someone suggests replacing Git with Excel. The silent scream of a thousand merge conflicts yet to come. Next they'll propose using PowerPoint for CI/CD pipelines because "it has nice transitions." Some people just want to watch the world burn—one corrupted spreadsheet at a time.

Solo Developer's Version Control Nightmare

Solo Developer's Version Control Nightmare
Ah, the classic solo developer paradox. You're the only one touching the codebase, yet somehow Git still manages to throw merge conflicts at you like you're in some distributed team of 50. It's like arguing with yourself and still losing. Probably happened because you coded at 2 AM on your laptop, then continued at 9 AM on your desktop without pulling first. Or maybe you've got multiple personalities and they all prefer different code formatting. Either way, congratulations on making version control complicated in a one-person project. Achievement unlocked.

Git Merge Conflict: Vibe Destroyer

Git Merge Conflict: Vibe Destroyer
Two fish cops showing a ticket for a "git merge conflict... 9999 lines" while Patrick Star looks horrified with "VIBE CODERS" caption. Nothing kills the coding flow faster than a massive merge conflict. Just another Monday where your weekend project collides with what your coworker pushed Friday at 4:59pm. Time to either become a farmer or spend the next 8 hours deciding which curly brace belongs where.

Git Is The Greatest Merger

Git Is The Greatest Merger
The existential dread of Git merge conflicts perfectly captured! The top panel shows the classic "two buttons" dilemma with "Current Change" (HEAD) and "Incoming Change" (develop branch), while the terminal shows the dreaded merge conflict markers. The bottom panel reveals the true horror—a sweaty developer in full panic mode facing the impossible choice of which code to keep. Nothing turns a confident developer into a nervous wreck faster than those <<<<<<< HEAD markers appearing in your previously pristine codebase. The real skill isn't writing code—it's surviving merge conflicts without having a complete mental breakdown!

Blame The Git

Blame The Git
When a developer thinks they're a Git wizard but hasn't quite mastered the dark arts... git push --force is basically the programming equivalent of saying "I know what I'm doing" right before catastrophe strikes. It's that command that overwrites remote history with your local changes, consequences be damned! The poor soul in this comic learned the hard way that Git doesn't come with an "undo apocalypse" button. One minute you're confidently force-pushing changes, the next you've erased months of your colleagues' work and suddenly everyone's Slack status changes to "contemplating violence." And just like that bike crash, there's no graceful recovery from nuking your team's repository. You just lie there, contemplating your career choices while frantically Googling "how to restore git history please help urgent!!!"

How Do I Compile This PDF Artifact

How Do I Compile This PDF Artifact
Nothing says "I'm from a different era of computing" like sending a PDF of a printout instead of a Git repo link. That senior dev probably still has a drawer full of floppy disks "just in case." Next they'll tell you to compile it by feeding the paper into your CD drive and typing "make oldschool." The digital equivalent of getting directions via fax machine when you asked for GPS coordinates.

Git Workflow: The Ryanair Experience

Git Workflow: The Ryanair Experience
The harsh reality of Git commands visualized with brutal accuracy. Landing a plane? That's your git commit - looks smooth but you're still touching ground. Taking off with git push ? Sure, your code's airborne but there's always turbulence ahead in production. And then there's git add - literally passengers climbing stairs to nowhere in the middle of a desert. That's what happens when you stage files without knowing what the hell you're actually including. Seven years as a lead and I still catch juniors blindly adding everything with git add . and wondering why their API keys ended up on GitHub.
