#Shadowcat x men days of future past movie

Now the movie goes on and Wolverine stops Mystique from killing Trask, twice. Wolverine wants to be on a new timeline, which is like checking out a new branch: $ git checkout -b prevent-sentinels They should know better than to mess with Hugh Jackman. Wolverine wakes up and quickly dispatches some nameless henchmen (squashes minor bugs). That sounds morbid, but it really means that we are detached from the main timeline (master branch), and we have the capability to start a new timeline (a new branch) if we choose. That's just like git checkout: $ git checkout wolverine-wakes-up-in-random-bed-1973 boom! Wolverine from the future wakes up in his 1973 body. Kitty Pryde places her hands next to Wolverine's head, concentrates really hard and. The X-Men choose to send back Wolverine (a programmer), because the trip will be a rough one for his mind and he is the only one with instant healing power (you have that too, right?). Now that we know where the problem started we can go back in time and change history (write new code). Mystique just had to go getting her DNA stolen. $ git bisect goodĪnd through a quick process of elimination Git will pinpoint which commit started all the trouble: Author: Mystique Īh yes, that's the one. You then tell Git which commits are good and which are bad. Git bisect uses binary search to pick which commit to show you each time. $ git bisect bad time-when-sentinels-are-coming-to-murder-us $ git bisect good some-time-far-in-the-past In Git, you can use git bisect to quickly determine which commit introduced a problem. The group of remaining X-Men think back in their memories (Git history) to determine at which point in time (which commit) the problems started.

Luckily, Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat, has the ability to send people's consciousnesses back in time (she's a Git master). Super-powerful shape-shifting sentinels (bugs) have emerged and are killing all the X-Men (the working features). The X-Men are on the main timeline (the master branch), but something has gone terribly wrong. If you haven't seen the movie yet then you probably shouldn't read this post. So here you have it, the new X-Men movie explained in Git. While having a heated discussion about the logic behind the time travel in the movie with fellow Rocketeer Lucas Galego, we realized that Git provides a great analogy for time travel. I went to see X-Men: Days of Future Past last weekend. X-Men: Days of Future Past, Explained in Git
