- graedus 4y agoI 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

- ghkbrew 4y agoAre you aware of the meaning of the word "git"? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/git https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/git
- CPLX 4y agoWithout 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.
