I don't find the name very nice: there's too much potential of mixing it with "doit" with a capital "d" and a capital "i".

Dew it. Good, good. It was too dangerous to not keep a backup.

I mean forget about mixing it up, what about the actual meaning of the word: dolt noun \ ˈdōlt \ Definition of dolt : a stupid person https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dolt https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dolt

  I thought this was an odd name too, but I'm guessing it's intentional, as git also is a derogatory word with a similar meaning. : a foolish or worthless person https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/git https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/git

  Are you aware of the meaning of the word "git"? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/git https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/git

    Without ever thinking hard about it I always assumed git came from American cowboy/western slang: Specifically this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_Along,_Little_Dogies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_Along,_Little_Dogies Every time I type it in I am visualizing my little code changes as sickly orphaned calves being herded into the main pen with all the mature cows currently working away at their various functions. Of course given the actual author the British/European meaning makes a lot more sense.
