Git is a tool I like, a lot. Before git, you could do RCS {& some others} which is a totally different tool set.

In this video Linus Torvalds talks about the way he created Git two+ decades ago.

What immediately Springs into view, is the fact that Linus gave control of the git project to someone else, as soon as he could he did not want to stay with the project for too long.

Git was created because of pure necessity; it was vital for kernel revision control

As with any command, one of the first things you should do is type

git --help

read what is said about the syntax then type

man git

@Dendrobatus_Azureus The image displays a screenshot of a mobile device showing a Linux man page for the "git" command. The top section of the page is titled "git(1) - Linux man page" with a red underline. Below this, the "Name" section describes "git - the stupid content tracker." The "Synopsis" section provides a command-line syntax for using git, including options like "--version," "--exec-path," "--paginate," "--no-pager," "--no-bare," "--git-dir," and "--help," followed by a command and optional arguments. The "Description" section explains that Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with a rich command set. It suggests reading "gittutorial(7)" to get started, "Everyday Git" for a useful set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. It also mentions "gitcvs-migration(7)" for CVS users and the "Git User's Manual" for a more in-depth introduction. The bottom of the image shows a browser interface with a URL bar displaying "linux.die.net/man/1" and a search bar with the text "linux.die.net/man/1." The battery icon shows 83% charge, and the time is 04:08.
