> The world rightly lauds Linus Torvalds for Linux, but Git will arguably have a bigger impact. That's a pretty bold statement. Git might be almost ubiquitous these days, but if you erased git from the world, the ripples would be much less due to the plethora of alternatives out there. There's no reason to think that things like Github wouldn't have evolved with alternative VCSs. Don't get me wrong, it's a great tool and improves the QoL of developers, but it's hard to think about any dev not being able to do their job without it.
