Git was created by torvalds

Linus Torvalds?

@zlice wow. That’s awesome!

because he probably thought, the kernel devs back then were idiots, hence the name
(or something like that)

Lord and Savior

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

Random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.

Stupid. Contemptible and despicable. Simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.

"Global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.

"Goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks.

Is in the initial readme file https://github.com/git/git/...

@jonas-w honestly that sounds about right 😅

@TheCommoner282 this dude is..., wow haha
