git used curl before curl used git ๐Ÿ’š
@bagder Curl has always been around. Why is anybody still using wget? curl is superior in so many ways!
@Zugschlus @bagder I, of course, use curl, but still miss wget default behavior (download the file and save it with probably the right filename, `-O` in curl). That is 95% of the time what I want to happen, I basically never want to see the response.
