Torvalds didn’t seem to have a very high opinion of it 😂

😬 Wish I could amend that commit, just a teensy bit.
Git really is one of those things that just feel like it was pulled from the fabric of the universe, the basic way it works feels so cromulent and obvious in hindsight.
I just wish we’d normalize using it for everyday stuff, a while ago i decided to publish the modpack i’d been fiddling on and almost immediately i realized how much more reliable everything became, no longer did i worry about fucking something up and making the whole thing unusable!
And obviously actual version management prevents final_final_(1).odt situationsI like how cromulent wasn’t a word
So he used GIT while developing GIT?
It was probably initially developed using a different VCS (e.g., svn), and when git became feature-complete that “svn” history was imported into git.
That first commit is only ~1000loc and reads and writes commits. It was almost certainly not using version control first.
I’ve initialized repos and committed smaller first commits though. I’m not sure I follow this argument.
Good point.
Most likely would have been BitKeeper. Torvalds famously despised SVN.
Somehow I never even wondered what git stands for. If someone was to ask me I probably would’ve guessed „get it?“
At least it didn‘t end up being called geddit though. Can you imagine?
That’s damn cool. Thanks
