Git is not merely a social construct, it is a veritable smorgasbord of of patriarchal, colonial, and capitalist structures. Branches are instruments of colonial exploration and exploitation, which facilitate the integration new code territories into repository empires. Merges symbolize the enforcement of a hierarchical order, patriarchally assimilating code into dominant “master” norms. Commits, as quantifiable units of productivity, enable the capitalist class to separate the worker from the means of production. (…and don’t get me started on stashes. Private property is inherently theft.) The only way to upend the oppression of Git is through Subversion!
