In this first episode of GitMinutes, I talk to Randal L. Schwarz about the history of Git, and a lot of other things like Perl, involuntary Git migrations, the Git community, and his favorite editor!
Links that we mention:
- FLOSS Weekly (Randal's podcast, recommended)
- Randal's homepage
- Randal on Google+
- Randal’s Google TechTalk about Git (2007)
- The revised Git talk on Vimeo (2012) (Slides)
- Deploying with(out) Git
- Repo managers: Gitolite, Gitorious and Gitblit (which I mispronounced as 'libgit', doh)
- My tips on sending mail to the Git developer's mailing list
- The Git-user mailing list
Some Git commands we talked about:
Nice graphic Git log in console:
git log --oneline --graph --decorate
Update and study history in gitk:
git fetch -p; git pull --rebase; gitk --all
Additionally, I think these are some interesting links to have a look at:
- Junio C Hamano aka Gitster's Blog (a nice place to keep up to date with new Git releases)
- A Note from the Maintainer (explains some of the Git project's conventions)
