I didn’t know about this and thought it interesting. Figured some others might as well.
Looks like they want to make a user-friendly tool for working with git repositories. Neat.
Got uses Git repositories to store versioned data. Git can be used for any functionality which has not yet been implemented in Got. It will always remain possible to work with both Got and Git on the same repository.
Very smart move!
The OpenBSD folks are a weird bunch. Literally the entire Internet is built on top of their tools and libraries, and they just ignore the fame and keep dwelling in their basements.
Care to elaborate? Never hear anything about them
SSH, OpenSSL, LibreSSL, pf …
There’s not a single web server without some code from them. Every single phone, every Linux machine, and probably even Windows (citation needed) ships with some of these tools.
And you didn’t hear a thing, because the OpenBSD guys just sport a smug smile and don’t care about our plebian fame.
The OpenBSD project maintains portable versions of many subsystems as packages for other operating systems. Because of the project’s preferred BSD license, which allows binary redistributions without the source code, many components are reused in proprietary and corporate-sponsored software projects. The firewall code in Apple’s macOS is based on OpenBSD’s PF firewall code,[6] Android’s Bionic C standard library is based on OpenBSD code,[7] LLVM uses OpenBSD’s regular expression library,[8] and Windows 10 uses OpenSSH (OpenBSD Secure Shell) with LibreSSL.[9]
Neato!
Might be time to join the open clan.
