   7"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
   8
   9 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
  10   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
  11   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  12 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
  13   dictionary of slang.
  14 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
  15   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  16 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

  18Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
  19unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
  20and full access to internals.
  21
  22Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
  23License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
  24compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
  25Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

  29See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
  30Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
  31Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
  32If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
  33read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
  34documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
  35commandname".
  36
  37CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
  38("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
  39installed).

  41Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
  42including full documentation and Git related tools.

  44The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
  45mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
  46requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read

  48To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
  49the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
  50available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,

  53The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
  54list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
  55list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
  56project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
