Git: Revision control from the people who brought you epoll!
@itsfoss
I know Torvalds is at the origin of git.
But can we start to spotlight Junio Hamano who has been actually developing git for 20 years ?
@itsfoss it's weird when people tell this story they don't focus on what an absolutely disastrous decision this was for Bitkeeper.
@itsfoss I don't know if the Linux kernel would have stayed on Bitkeeper to this very day but I do think a few more years without git would have let the distributed version control sector solidify into a tangle of incompatible systems. We might not have gotten the git monoculture we have today, with all its benefits and disadvantages.
