astormI’m working my way through James Cogland’s Building Git and it’s a delightful read. Git and its role in building software is fertile grounds for exploring the social interactions of the software industry. Git’s history, in brief, is the Linux Kernel project started using a version control system (named BitKeeper) [...]
