20 years of Git: ‘Never a big thing for me,’ says inventor Linus Torvalds
Today I learned that Linus Torvalds also invented Git (via DevClass):
Git, the dominant version control system for code, is 20 years old this month, but inventor Linus Torvalds said that it “was never a big thing for me” since it was only made to support the work on the Linux kernel.
It’s good to know his use of Git is as limited as mine:
Torvalds described himself as a casual user of Git who mainly uses just five commands: git merge, git blame, git log, git commit and git pull – though he adds later in the interview that he also uses git status “fairly regularly.”
