Habr<p>[Перевод] 20 лет Git, странному и прекрасному</p><p>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.</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/articles/900686/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/ar</span><span class="invisible">ticles/900686/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/git" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>git</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/gitbutler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gitbutler</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/pro_git" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pro_git</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/bitkeeper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bitkeeper</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/vcs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vcs</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ruvds_%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ruvds_перевод</span></a></p>

Yes, it suffers from notable lacks of consistency and places where it implements particular workflows and fails to provide tools to do other transforms and analysis. I've done my own scripting to find graph tips, and am looking to find "tree-same" commits more easily too, for example.</p>
