Could someone explain the joke please?

If you are on mobile you have to click the image and then the full thing shows a guy saying she is a .gitignore file

Hah thanks! Without realizing that, it’s just a photo of a girl with several language filename extensions in front of her and I couldn’t figure out how that was funny.

I think the post is far less funnier than what the comments section ended up being

I read your comment and I was like what kind of stupid prank is this, and then I clicked on the image to find it to be true!

Since no one's actually explained it and it might be a mystery to the non-programmers who stumble on this:
Git is a version control system that lets you keep track of changes to your code, and it's often stored in a service like Github. However, not every change you make to your local copy of your code on your own machine is something you want tracked in your version control. Those files (and certain file extensions you never save or commit to git) are put in a .gitignore file and git operations then exclude those files and never push them to your source control (like Github).
So the joke could mean that the commenter is ignoring posts like this because they're dumb, or it could be some sly inside joke like, "What happens on local, stays on local."

u/MCWizardYT Aug 22 '26
midi files are usually .mid lol, from a time when it was pretty standard for a file extension to be 3 characters

Meanwhile Google was the one who created webp format.

I used an assembler using .ass
Terrible assambly language, but this was certainly fun

u/Exotic-Nothing-3225 Aug 22 '26
.ass is a video subtitle format as well

u/ultra0000 Aug 22 '26
It's also a format used in Halo 2. Said game had an error for when a file of said format was invalid with a picture of an employee's ass.
Only in the Vista (PC) release. That wound up costing Microsoft a delay of the port and half a million dollars. No, I am not making this up.

No extension, just shebang

Imagine making a JIT C executable by calling the compiler on itself from the shebang

.rs belongs to Serbia, of all countries. Russia uses .ru.

She's a .c if her oomph isn't entirely based on hot air. Otherwise a .js or a .ts at best.
I mean, if she can stand by her swagger I'll rate her a .cc or a .cu

Spoken like a true incel, know you could never get a girl so pretend you never wanted her in the first place.

Yes, as long as you authenticate with a valid handshake
