Git為什麼起名叫Git?

1 Git為什麼起名叫Git,它的起源是因為什麼?

2 有什麼特殊含義嗎?

3 如何正確地讀"Git"這個單詞?


The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very

first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"

and the name as (depending on your way):

- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not

actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a

mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.

- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the

dictionary of slang.

- "global information tracker": you"re in a good mood, and it actually

works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.

- "g*dd*mn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

根據git的功能,取的應該是飯桶這個意思(逃


從英文版維基百科git條目中,我找到了如下段落,原來git是個單詞,不是編造出來的,它的含義是「爛人」!!!

Linus總是將他的項目用他自己來命名,而他自認為是個自負的混蛋,所以選了爛人這個詞。^^

~大師都這麼謙虛,某些人還不自省?

CITATIONClose[16] "After controversy, Torvalds begins work on "git"". PC World. 2012-07-14. Torvalds seemed aware that his decision to drop BitKeeper would also be controversial. 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"


我們知道,本來Linux用的是BitKeeper,後來BitKeeper公司懷疑有開發者在逆向工程,就收回了給Linux開發者的免費授權,於是Linus不得不自己寫一個。

我腦補,當時的Linus大概一邊想著BitKeeper,一邊想罵人,於是很容易想到git這個詞……?

// 不過bitkeeper的命令行叫bk而不是bit,不然這個腦補就更像真的了。

看清楚了是U不是A


linus的自嘲吧。他說他兩個產品都是以他自己命名的。
