What Do You Think GIT Stands For?
What do you think GIT stands for?
So fun fact about GIT
(For those of you who do not know. Git is "A version control tool". Simplified, it is a way to save and load your work when doing anything text based. Including code. If you work with code and do not know GIT… then you REALLY want to learn GIT)
The name GIT does not stand for anything. Its creator, Linus Torvalds have said so. And in start of the the README for the early version of git he writes:
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronounciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
