The linux project was using git before github even existed, and would probably still use it even if the rest of the world had chosen, say, bazaar instead.

- seiji 11y agoYes, but that's not what made git popular. What revision control did Linux use before git? It sure wasn't popular with the public even though Linux used it. What made git popular was thousands of slightly clueless novice Ruby users forced on to git by GitHub. They then began writing thousands of blog posts about how git is confusing, but—they, in their infinite cleverness—discovered the secrets and will now share them with you.

- kelvin0 11y agoHey, I still use bazaar and aside from some minor quirks it has been quite robust over the years.
