The Git

Linux founder and leader Linus Torvalds has launched a new tool, called Git , to manage his software project, after a dispute led him to drop the previous system.’

*As usual, Torvalds is at his best … *
When asked why he called the new software, “git,” British slang meaning “a rotten person,” he said. “I’m an egotistical bastard, so I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git.”
