Stop figuring out what #Git stands for 🚫

It’s not an acronym. Linus Torvalds named it after the British slang for "a foolish person": "I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First 'Linux', now 'git'."

It's officially called "the stupid content tracker."

#SmartGit

Over 90% of developers rely on #Git

Whether you're coding AI or building a website, we all speak the same language: push, pull & merge conflict

If you feel like you have Imposter Syndrome, remember: almost every developer has stared at a detached HEAD

You're in good company 🤝

#DevLife #SmartGit

What did you achieve in the last 10 days? Linus wrote #Git 🤯

He just wanted to fix his problem. Now, 96% of professional developers use his weekend project.

Never underestimate a developer annoyed by their tools - that’s why we built SmartGit, too 😉

#GitHistory #DeveloperLife #SmartGit

If AI is doing the heavy lifting & reading the #code, why are we still obsessing over making it clean & human-readable?

1. To pave a "Cow Path"
2. For the 3 AM bug fix
3. To impress the robot
4. Habit/Old school pride
