I wonder whether something like pijul (https://pijul.org https://pijul.org) might represent the next step forwards; I am no expert in these things but the patch based approach it takes sounds interesting and potentially very intuitive to work with. I might have to actually give it a go one of these days!
- dralley 8y agoI feel bad for thinking that it's a terrible name, since it's probably a fine name in some other language, and I don't want to be an entitled American English speaker expecting literally everything software related to be in English. And yet, it's a great tool that I suspect that it will never get traction for precisely that reason. The abundance of options enables people to be shallow enough that a silly-sounding name knocks it out of consideration.
- methyl 8y agoWhat's wrong with this name?
- jedieaston 8y agoAs an english speaker, I don’t know how to pronounce it. Git, subversion, sourcesafe, they can all be easily pronounced.
