Completely forgotten to explain my name 💐 ☘️ 🌳
The name GitRoot reflects a botanical vision of software evolution, where #git serves as the foundational root of the entire system. From this root, the development history emerges as a stem formed by a continuous sequence of commits. To add specialized functionality and detail, various #plugins act as leaves, drawing energy from the core logic to enrich the project. Ultimately, this growth culminates in a vibrant flower the final, polished #product of the repository, blooming from the synergy of the #forge.
If you are an artist and would like to “draw” this metaphor, I would be delighted to include your work on my website https://gitroot.dev
Thank you for sharing to reach more people 🙏
This is such a good article, anyone (any real person anyway) doing open source should read it! 👏👏👏 @andrewnez
> #GitHub made #forking a one-click operation a decade ago without ever investing in making the resulting graph navigable […] A pull-based model would sidestep most of this, because #agents can #fork and generate garbage all day without anything landing in anyone’s inbox.
Stop trying to figure out what GIT stands for 🇬🇧🚫
It’s not an acronym.
When Linus Torvalds built Git in 2005, he named it after the British slang for "a foolish person."
He joked: "I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First 'Linux', now 'git'."
Even the official doc calls it "the stupid content tracker."
So the next time you get a merge conflict and feel the software is being stubborn—don't worry. It was named to be difficult 😉

I hope #hggit pushes a working version out through pip soon. In the mean time, branch 1.3.x managed not to explode once. Afaict this has been another #python3 migration straggler. FYI, in my ~/.hgrc
hg-git = ~/clones/hg-git/hggit
and in the clone I had to
hg checkout -C 1.3.x
If you're not a #mercurial person, it "works great" as a #git client. With the above caveat.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/ lists https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git as a place you can clone from
BUT:
g.k.o sends me 10+GB
k.gs.c politely tells me it's about to send 2.23GB
What's missing from the smaller one?
main branch looks the same.
(Is anyone allowed to tell me what kind of git server kernel.googlesource runs?)

Hello par ici !
J'ai besoin de conseils : quelle forge informatique faut-il que j'utilise ? (Pour mon travail à l'Université, et pour les projets perso) ?
Y a-t-il des recommendations officielles pour les établissements publics français ?
J'ai déjà pas mal de projets sur github, gitlab et codeberg, et je commence a être un peu perdu, je ne sais plus quoi utiliser...
Merci pour le repouet 🔄😊

This is pretty useful. I switch branches so much and sometimes I need to know what I worked on, so this command might help.

Not my post but worth reading...
pre-commit hooks are fundamentally broken

Note that the pre-commit framework can also be used to manage pre-push and other hooks
