Yet another link: Deveo: List of equivalent commands in Git, Mercurial, and Subversion - not sure if worth including.

More links to come.

Thanks @jnareb!

Let's publish this edition next Wednesday October 19th.

By the way sorry but I managed to make a mistake in the commit message of: a955701
It's October 19th not October 20th.

• Gittup is an entire(-ish) Linux distribution in git, where everything is built with tup, a file-based build system.

[jnareb]

• Lesser known Git commands article by Tim Pettersen... well, most of those are well named aliases using less known options or combination of options (push --force-with-lease, commit --amend --no-edit, stash --keep-index / --include-untracked / --all, status --short --branch, merge --no-ff,...)

• GitHub Classroom as Textbook and Workbook by Rob Muhlestein on SkilStak blog

though this one might be too GitHub-specific.

[jnareb]

• Git – Basic hygiene of working with repository – The #AIMway (All In Mobile) by Jerzy Puchalski

I'm not sure if it was not present in previous Git Rev News...

Edit by @tfnico: Yup, this one was in the previous edition.

Purposes, Concepts, Misfits, and a Redesign of Git would need, I think, something more that just link. There was short discussion on Git mailing list. And there was result of this work: Gitless.

The "Git User's Survey 2016" is to end at 20 October 2016... one day after Git Rev News edition 20 - but I wouldn't have time to do the analysis anyway.

• ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, git grep, ucg, pt, sift} on Andrew Gallant's Blog; what's nice is (beside very comprehensive benchmark) explanation about how ripgrep is fast.

Maybe we could borrow some ideas for git grep / git log --grep / etc...?

I don't know if patchwork, a web-based patch tracking system for OSS projects, was present in previous Git Rev News or not.

• https://github.com/book/git-test-repository - Git repository full of special cases, for testing purposes

@jnareb No it hasn't appeared on Git Rev News yet. Thanks!

I'm working on adding the links now. Thanks for all the tips, @jnareb! I had some of them bookmarked already, but there were some new ones there too.

It would be cool if we had a "link pot" where everyone could easily add their own links, and easily check if it has been published or found earlier. I've been using diigo.com to collect the links personally, but unfortunately it starts to cost money when one wants to start more collaborative stuff.
