Anyone else wondering about the name? I’m OK with the absence of staging area, but with such a fundamental change why would it still call itself “Git”? A name like (say) Tig would keep the Git reference alive, but make it obvious the two are different.
- jxy 8y agoNext you are going propose that most of the plan 9 commands should change their names because they are not POSIX?
- uranusjr 8y agoThat’s a very slippery slope. Most of their tools would be just fine since the notions predate POSIX, and people already expect incompatibilities across platforms (plus Plan 9 ones more or less work similarly as their counterparts). Naming a new not-really-Git thing Git causes more confusion than benefits because Git is not a standard but a “product”.
- jcrites 8y agoTig is an existing text mode interface for working with Git, FYI. A pretty useful tool: https://github.com/jonas/tig https://github.com/jonas/tig
