software - Was there a 'git' in the 1990s? - Retrocomputing Stack Exchange


i seem remember using source code control system in early- mid-1990s called git. nuts?

i used work @ ibm way then. didn't use big project, distinctly remember using it. possible?

however, wikipedia says linus torvalds wrote in 2005, citing a short history of git:

git created linus torvalds in 2005 development of linux kernel, other kernel developers contributing initial development.

was there earlier version of source-control software same name, or may have functioned similarly?

you nuts, unfortunately. thing that's called git didn't exist @ until linus invented after experience bitkeeper, , thinking distributed version control. linux didn't start using bitkeeper official mainline source tree until 2002, developers must have been using before that. bitkeeper didn't exist until late 90s (e.g. early-access beta in may 1999).

one of major motivations creation bitkeeper's pricing change, making inconvenient developers work on linux if didn't buy bitkeeper.

there project used abbreviated git (e.g. in debian package names), popularity of git vcs led gnu interactive tools being renamed gnuit. (and know because remember debian package-name conflict led git being pacakged git-vcs while.)
