Linus gift to the world will be Git not Linux (and what about an OS built on top of an hash-driven file system?)

I know it is a big claim, but I think that Linus Torvalds will be more famous for creating Git than for this work on Linux

Linux is a great example of OpenSource development and a good OS. Its impact is mainly technical and behind the scenes.

Git is a hashed-based file system with built-it version control. Its impact is not only technical but social.

The more I use Git, the more I appreciate its beauty, simplicity and ability to scale while handling complex workflows.

Git pulling a TeamMentor Library and renaming it

Here is an example of how to use the new TM 3.3 capabilities to load libraries from GitHub and to rename them.

Let’s start with a version of TM that looks like this:

Using NGit to create native Git support in Azure deployed app (with automatic pushes and pulls)

This entry will show a pretty powerful new feature in TeamMentor (TM) which I’m very proud and excited about!

This feature is so important, that it literary caused a delay on the release of TM 3.3 for about 1 month (my instinct was pushing me on this direction since I 'knew' that this could be done, and that it would be a killer feature). Btw, there is a lot more NGit/Git support than what is shown here, but I’m sure you will see the power in the workflow described below.

Basically, TM’s backend engine will now automatically perform:

• a git pull  - when the TM server starts (or it cache is rebuilt) 
• a git commit followed by a git push - on every library edit (on both content and structure changes).

Prob with (older version of) NGit where it was failing to create Git repositories in Azure/TeamCity

Using an NGit version from a couple months ago.

Seeing an NGit Diff by using reflection to access the internal Sharpen.ByteArrayOutputStream Class

I was trying to get the NGif diff output stream, but hit on an issue that the Sharpen.ByteArrayOutputStream class is internal
