Did you just call git a fad? The vast majority of software in version control is in git, including some of the largest and most important open source projects.

What else do you think is a fad? Linux? C?
- pjc50 8y agoEvidence of widespread adoption is not evidence that something is not a fad. It might even be the evidence that it is a fad. Faddishness is in the process of adoption. Why is the vast majority of software using git? Is it really the most suitable for their use case? Is it really the most usable, given the notoriously poor orthogonality of the CLI? Or is the adoption driven by adoption of github and git as the new "default"?
