- Facebook does not use Git due to scale issues with their large monorepo, instead opting for Mercurial.
- Mercurial may be a better option for large monorepos, but Git has made improvements to support them better.
- Despite some drawbacks, Git usage remains dominant with 93.87% share, due to familiarity, additional tools, and industry trends.
I agree. I personally know nothing about tooling like this but I went through the tooling used at rockstar for example GTA V and it was very cool to how much they have automated and made tools easier to use.
Made easier to use like in when their codebase was leaked and no one had successfully built a game from it?
in-house tools often encourage making a mess heavily reliant on those tools or working around their limitations, in my experience
People have successfully compiled GTA V if that is what you are saying.
Of course no one would make another game using leaked tools, that would be incredibly stupid.
No, that was what I meant, I thought they didn’t, I was wrong, it turned out
Yeah, people successfully compiled and ran the game within a few days of the leak.
I tried myself but I didn’t get it to work. But I’m no developer and I tried doing it in a VM (no way those files touch my real computer) which was annoying so I gave up quite quickly.
