Only used Git and SVN before, sorry for noob question. I guess p4 is Perforce, but what is g4?

  Internally Google started on Perforce and gradually replaced its backend. Their client (not available outside their org) is g4 rather than p4. Some dedicated/stubborn devs also used to (maybe still do?) manage local history in a git-based tool with pushes on demand to a g4 changelist for review.

    Ahh awesome, ok, thanks so much for the lesson. Something to read more about. Cheers.

    git5 or something - is this still supported? g4 was awesome (still miss it, now just on perforce...)

      I wouldn’t know anymore, but I hope it’s still viable.
