Git is an insane tool. I've never seen a single command line tool blogged about so much. You don't see anything like this with regards to Mercurial or other distributed version control systems(and most of them are just as powerful as git, if not moreso), the documentation is usually enough for these tools. For some reason git is special - it has this ability to be completely opaque to so many people and yet still be deployed almost literally everywhere. I am completely baffled by its ubiquity. Thanks Github, I guess..?
