Git and version control in practice: how Git works, hosting platforms and the future of code repositories.
Linus built Git in 10 days. GitHub became where open source lives. Then Microsoft paid $7.5B, killed Atom, trained Copilot on your code, corrupted main branches with a merge queue bug, and folded the whole thing into CoreAI. Here's the full story.
OpenAI is building a GitHub competitor — a technical breakdown of Git internals, version control history, and what this move signals about OpenAI's strategy.
Git tracks every change to every file in your codebase, lets multiple developers work simultaneously without overwriting each other, and gives you a complete history you can rewind to any point. It is the foundation of modern software development. Here is how it actually works.
