		antrix on May 12, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Linus Torvalds won't do github pull requests Full quote: "github is a total ghetto of crap commit messages and unreadable and unusable pull requests" Conveniently left out the part most salient to Linus' argument? Linus repeatedly stresses that he thinks Github is great as a hosting service. It is the pull/commit functionality which he finds lacking.

Yes, and he calls GH's pull/commit functionality "braindamaged crap." That's implying that "they're idiots for doing this."

I apologize for the misquote; again, that was unintentional.

His argument isn't under question here, his civility is. The original quote was a perfect example in that regard.
