Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 7d5b30e09f gitweb: hard-depend on the Digest::MD5 5.8 module
Since my d48b284183 ("perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from
5.6.[21]", 2010-09-24), we've depended on 5.8, so there's no reason to
conditionally require Digest::MD5 anymore. It was released with perl
v5.7.3[1]

The initial introduction of the dependency in
e9fdd74e53 ("gitweb: (gr)avatar support", 2009-06-30) says as much,
this also undoes part of the later 2e9c8789b7 ("gitweb: Mention
optional Perl modules in INSTALL", 2011-02-04) since gitweb will
always be run on at least 5.8, so there's no need to mention
Digest::MD5 as a required module in the documentation, let's instead
say that we require perl 5.8.

1. $ corelist Digest::MD5
   Data for 2015-02-14
   Digest::MD5 was first released with perl v5.7.3

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (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
