OT, but as someone who's never used Bazaar, how does this work?

    bzr clone https://tycho.sytes.net/TinyClock/

EDIT: To clarify, I'm curious since this is the same URL I'm opening in my browser.

Honestly, the most surprising thing to me was that people still use bzr. It looks like Canonical abandoned it back in 2016 [0]. It seems like it was suceeded by breezy [1], at least.

The only (somewhat) newer code I've seen hosted is for Anduril (nerdy firmware for nerdy flashlights).

Same URL, different port. The website is at 80(http) or 443(https). Bzr seems to run on 4155.

I successfully cloned the repo using breezy. Did I get punked? It's empty.

Ah! thank you.

The website is openbsd httpd serving the repository.

https://tycho.sytes.net/TinyClock/README.md

The Makefile creates index.html from README.md (and also TinyClock.dmg)

[dflock]

Same as `git clone <repo>` - it downloads a local copy of the repo into a folder called ./TinyClock, which it will create if it doesn't exist.

One (IMO reasonable) objection/confusion might be that the the repo URL is the exact same as the web page, i.e. the actual posted article.

When coming from git/Mercurial/subversion etc as I do, it is at least mildly weird that the Bazaar repo address is the same as the address of a web document. The two objects are not (at least in my world) the same, so why should they share URIs?

Edit: deduped.

[Karellen]

Because sending different content based on the content-type the user-agent asks for, e.g. with the "Accept:" header, has explicitly been part of the HTTP spec since version 1.1 in 1997?

(FWIW - I don't know if that's how `bzr` does this, but it might, and the concept is 25 years old now.)

Edit: s/different content/different representations of the same resource/

[unwind]

True of course, didn't think about that. I'm not a web developer. :) Still think it's weird and kind of against my feeling for the spirit of a URI, but that's just me. Thanks.

You can git clone normal GitHub URLs without the .git at the end too.
