Will never understand why some people prefer mailing lists to do development, it always feels like the most convoluted way to hold a discussion, especially if there are multiple topics at the same time.
It probably doesn't really change that much in this scenario but with a forum or any other topics-based platform you can at least just close and ignore these things without it affecting everyone else.
To be honest I don't know of any, I just didn't want to be outright dismissive of it. If you just use it for a header to have some kind of small animation that grabs the reader's attention I guess it's fine. Just don't use it for the main text body.
If someone doesn't know what .gitkeep is they should be able to derive from the name that it's some special file intended for git.
If they then google it they will immediately find out what it's for.
Yes, git itself has no concept of it but it's common enough that there's plenty documentation on the internet.
I feel like I'm having a stroke trying to read this, what does it mean??
