Pretty cool that Linus Torvalds invented a completely distributed version control system and 20 years later we all use it to store our code in a single place.

Plenty of people use Codeberg and Gitlab. And it's still distributed - I don't need to lock files and ask coworkers if I can work on them.

Maybe if Git had native support for PRs and issues this wouldn't have happened. (And yes I'm aware of git send-email etc.)

Git should have issue support or something like it as a convention but pull requests are an abomination that we are stuck with. No thank you.

Can you expand on that? I’m probably younger but I can’t imagine a more comfortable way to review code.

It’s only good if you haven’t tried anything else. Check out gerrit, but there are many more tools and workflows.

Note we’re talking about the GitHub UI mostly. Pulling and merging a remote branch is a basic git operation, almost a primitive.
