[Перевод] 20 лет Git, странному и прекрасному

Двадцать лет назад, 7 апреля 2005 года, Линус Торвальдс создал самый первый коммит в «информационном менеджере из ада» Git. За эти двадцать лет Git превратился из простого маленького личного проекта в самую масштабную и популярную систему управления версиями. Лично для меня это было захватывающее приключение в мире ПО, со своими взлётами и падениями. Я начал пользоваться Git лишь спустя всего несколько месяцев после первого коммита, и применение его было достаточно необычным. А затем я стал сооснователем GitHub , написал самую, наверно, популярную книгу про Git , создал официальный веб-сайт проекта, организовал ежегодную конференцию разработчиков и так далее — этот проект изменил мир разработки ПО, но лично для меня он стал огромным изменением в судьбе. Я подумал, что сегодня, когда проект Git входит в свой третий десяток лет , было бы интересно вспомнить самые первые дни Git и немного рассказать о том, почему этот проект кажется мне бесконечно восхитительным.

🎉🎂 Happy 20th birthday, Git! Still the angsty teenager of the programming world, misunderstood yet worshipped by developers who can't resist its chaos. 🚀✨ Meanwhile, promises to tame the beast—because clearly, what we need is another way to get lost in version control. 🙃🔍

What's old is new. 😅

I'm one of the few that prefer email patches because of how powerful it is to review.

Still, very awesome to see #gitbutler trying to do good here. Commit based reviews can be pure joy. But you MUST follow one change per commit for it to be reasonable. Else it's worse. 🙃

#Gitbutler now has it's own review system (compatible with GH PRs) from the creator of GH PRs.

blog.gitbutler.com/gitbutlers-

So yet another external review system showing how broken #githubs PR system really is.

We now have #ReviewStack (does anyone actually use this), Graphite, and GitButler in the Github compatible alternate review system along with the client side systems (#jj, #ghstacks, #sapling, et al)

However I think GitButler totally misses the mark and continues the the sins of PRs into thinking that you need to groups PRs together into a logic unit.

Phabricator and Gerrit have both supported stacking diffs and the power of stacking was that a change could be related to a feature (i.e building up to implementing it) or just dependent on other features in the stack.

Forcing that a "branch" is has to be a single feature and your commits are reviewable but you still can't stack branches is STILL a hurdle to productivity which is the entire point.

Also no command line for gitbutler makes it my least favorite by far.

I gave #GitButler a second try yesterday after my unsuccessful attempt a year ago (I messed up files I don't know how 🙃).

This time it was an excellent experience! I managed to organize a lot of different code changes and keep stuff separated on the virtual branches. It was very efficient. I still have stuff to try, and I'm still a bit afraid to use it on projects where I have a lot of tinkering going on.

I definitely recommend git users to try it, after having understood the mental model.

When you want to position yourself as a new git client that promises to make working with git easier, you better not loose my commits, dear #gitbutler

(Yes, I checked in the reflog. It's not there.)

(HT to @b0rk for teaching me about the reflog with her git zine)

An interesting post from #GitButler, on the evolving meaning/use of the words 'open source', highlighting challenges like developer sustainability, the rise of commercial open source.
They end with how they see this evolve in a sustainable way 🤔

Great read ✨

@ttscoff Heard you like Tower, I too love Tower and have been using it for years - but recently I stumbled over gitbutler.com/ which is super awesome - virtual branches are sooo nice!
