"A Vim plugin which shows a git diff in the 'gutter' (sign column). It shows whether each line has been added, modified, and where lines have been removed." Lovely. Also available for emacs and Sublime Text 2.

"Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C." Linus doesn't like C++.

"Takes a snapshot with your Mac's built-in iSight webcam every time you git commit code, and archives a lolcat style image with it." YES.

"I'm not going to lie to you; fugitive.vim may very well be the best Git wrapper of all time."

"I hugely prefer Windows ME to anything else.  The problem is that it’s difficult to run on most of the hardware I have and no other Windows edition cuts it for me. So, I’m down to using a Mac..."

Some good stuff here; the tips on the stash were new to me, and particularly handy.

"In this post I present the development model that I’ve introduced for all of my projects (both at work and private) about a year ago, and which has turned out to be very successful. I’ve been meaning to write about it for a while now, but I’ve never really found the time to do so thoroughly, until now. I won’t talk about any of the projects’ details, merely about the branching strategy and release management." It's a detailed strategy, but well thought-through; I'm certainly going to bear some of this in mind in future (and, indeed, the way the release branches are handled is familiar).

This comment (linked) on this Stack Overflow thread is the clearest explanation of this yet, and it made things very clear - and doable - for idiots like me.

"...it’s been a week and we’ve decided to not bring back the gem builder. It was a fun experiment but Jeweler and Gemcutter combined make it ridiculously simple to publish a gem. The gem builder use case (fork a project, make a change, publish a gem, install it) is now easier than ever using these tools." Which is all very nice, but a bit of a PITA for anyone who'd been depending on this. Still: gems.github.com will serve for another year.

"Tig provides a simple command-line yet visual interface to Git." An explanation of what Tig does, and why you might find it useful.

"Tig is a git repository browser that additionally can act as a pager for output from various git commands."

"It may be a little hidden but Git actually comes with auto completion, you just have to set it up." I did not know that. Useful!

"Local devs, running local services, but how to share with everyone in the room?" Answer: rebuild all your tools to work across Bonjour. Slightly bonkers but very cool.

"bash completion support for core Git." Ooh. This looks really, really nice.

A useful guide, although perhaps more detailed than you'd normally need. Still, clear instructions for handling reverting changes in git.

Daily git tips. So far, they've all been rather handy, and given they're nice and short makes recommending this as a subscription easy.

Lovely way to generate pages for your github projects - and to do so as a branch of said project. Clever.

"SourceForge is about projects. GitHub is about people... This is a pivot of the traditional open source project website. A pivot from project to programmer. I love the pivot."

"The rest of this article will be a tutorial showing you how to host and manage Git repositories with access control, easily and safely. I use an up and coming tool called gitosis that my friend Tv wrote to help make hosting git repos easier and safer." Nice guide to getting up and running with gitosis.

A nice simple explanation of what using Git is really like.

"I wanted to generate some visualizations of our project’s growth, so I decided to put together a little shell script that looked at the output from git log to spit out some metrics." Ooh, nice one, Carlos!

Great for designers, or anyone else with no knowledge of version control, but a not-half-bad introduction to Git at the same time.

GitCasts: screencasts about git. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

"Git is a version control Swiss army knife. A reliable versatile multipurpose revision control tool whose extraordinary flexibility makes it tricky to learn, let alone master. I'm recording what I've figured out so far in these pages." Really excellent.

"[GitHub] is my kind of social software. You want to "friend me"? Send me a patch. Fork me." Nice post from Ryan Tomayko looking at GitHub from a slightly different angle.
