Git clone –depth 2 is vastly better than –depth 1 if you want to Git push later
(stackoverflow.com)
I've done a shallow clone of a large repo (git clone --depth 1 [email protected]:myOrg/myRepo.git). I can push new changes to the remote but the first push is horribly slow. Subsequent pushes are fine. The command indicates that the first push writes a lot of data to the remote:

jj: a Git-compatible VCS that is both simple and powerful
(github.com/jj-vcs)
Jujutsu is a powerful version control system for software projects. You use it to get a copy of your code, track changes to the code, and finally publish those changes for others to see and use. It is designed from the ground up to be easy to use—whether you're new or experienced, working on brand new projects alone, or large scale software projects with large histories and teams.

Git: How submodules are merged (2022)

If you work in a project that uses Git as its version control system and and uses submodules, maybe you have faced a situation where you needed to change a submodule in a branch and needed to merge that branch into another.

Find the oldest line in your repo
(milofultz.com)
This is how all my projects go. I get a wild hare and then figure out how I can make a shell script to do it. Thanks to some help from people online, I was able to make a script that listed out the oldest lines in a git repo. Kind of fun to see what legacy stuff is still around.

Cheatsheet for jj's builtin diff editor

I grepped the scm-record repo for command names I was familiar with, and, finding the ui.rs source that maps key strokes and mouse clicks to commands, I extracted them into a cheatsheet-style layout suitable for quick reference while learning and using jj's built-in diff editor.

Can we communally deprecate git checkout?
(mirawelner.com)
I will start with the disclaimer that I really like git. I use it on nearly all of my programming projects, have read the entirety of Pro Git, and every lab or company I have worked at has held its codebase on GitHub, with the exception of the National Ignition Facility. For some reason, they use Accurev, or at least they did when I worked there in 2019, which was much worse.

There was a recent discussion about how Linux's “Fixes” tag, which traditionally uses the 12 character commit SHA prefix, has an ever increasing chance of collisions.

NonStop discussion around adding Rust to Git

The Linux kernel community's discussions about including Rust have gotten a lot of attention, but the kernel is not the only project wrestling with the question of whether to allow Rust. The Git project discussed the prospect in January, and then again at the Git Contributor's Summit in September.
