Why does git for humans exists ? How is it different from git for windows ?
[...] If I guess correctly, you are talking about a mailing list called (by whoever has created it) "Git for human beings" [1]. If yes, the answers are, in order: * That mailing list exists to help mere mortals solve the problems they experience when using Git - no matter which hardware and/or software platform they run Git on. In other words, it's about solving platform-independent problems like difficulty grasping some concepts, dealing with complex merges, untandling botched histories, recovering from bloopers and so on. To recap, there's no piece of software titled "git for humans" (at least to my knowledge), and in any way the mailing list being discussed is not related to any specific piece of software other than Git - a version control system - in general. * The git-users mailing list is hence different from the git-for-windows mailing list because the latter is specifically designated for solving _technical_ usage problems occuring with one particular port of Git to the Windows platform - called "Git for Windows". Since the OP's problem was clearly not with using Git as a version control system but rather they were facing some technical problem specific to Git for Windows, I naturally suggested to bring such problems on the mailing list dedicated to solving such problems. This both raises the signal-to-noise ratio on the git-users list and has greater chances of being addressed as the git-for-windows mailing list is read by the GfW's developers (and this one is not). 1. https://groups.google.com/g/git-users -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
