I agree it seems quite strange that it's not a git subcommand now that it seems like it's been incorporated into the git core release. I'm not exactly sure of it's utility...seems kinda heavy weight to just be setting recommended configurations? I guess it does some background automation for fetching and gc?

- jsmith45 4y agoSince that original patch, the codebase was moved out of contrib and is now scalar.c alongside the other git source files. Remaining a seperate command rather than a subcommand is motivated by command line backwards compatibility for users of the c version from microsoft/git, but also for users of the older C# version. If they did git-scalar then they would still need a contrib subfolder command wrapper executable (not just a script, as many users are on windows and rely on it being an executable, not just a bash script).
