We often imagine software like a single project, built in one place.
Open source gives us a different way to build. With Git, development happens everywhere, across forks, teams, and timelines. What looks like chaos is actually how stability, trust, and resilience are built.
More forks than a restaurant, and that’s a good thing.

#git es una maravilla, acabo de encontrar código que hice el 17 de agosto del 2025 y que pensé que estaba en producción pero resulta que no.
An interesting read from the Buyback Capital Substack, on the history of software version management, with a background on how #Linux appeared, and later #git, #github, and #gitlab.

I understand that I clicked the "Allow" button without careful reading, but why would #CoPilot force delete files skipping the recycling/trash bin?
Normally, I'd say it's a good thing I use #git but it deleted a file that's in gitignore. Thankfully still easily recoverable, but that's beside the point.
One of the small things that have improved my git "quality of life", especially after lots and lots of SVN usage, has been short status output.
I find it much easier to parse mentally, and also with quick ad-hoc greps etc.
git config --global status.short true
