@b0rk I love your work, Julia! You are an inspiration. (Been using git for 18? years. Subversion ams CVS before that)

@b0rk Thanks for the work of improving fundamental documentation for what is such an essential and widely used tool. I hope the work is not "thankless".

@b0rk This is awesome, Julia. Thank you! I've not read the Git docs much over the years because they contain so much jargon. Your changes will help a *ton.*
@nasamuffin really don't know if I could have done it without your help ❤ ❤

@b0rk thanks for working on this, it's great to see work on improving docs for such a well used tool.
I saw your email thread viewer used jwzthreading, and just in case it comes in handy - long ago I also wrote something using that, and there is a bug in that library that loops forever with some threads that end up having cycles. The original repo never got the fix, but I see there's a version at https://github.com/FreeDiscovery/jwzthreading that handles the case I found correctly.
@b0rk thanks for explaining! Erin and I kinda glossed over where to get money in our talk. Google's Season of Docs was the only docs-specific funding program that I knew of, but it has sadly ended. Docs funding seems to come through weird one-off sources, or attached to new development work. I ought to write more about this phenomenon.

Cool!
Suggestions for more docu improvements:
git switch
git repack
git gc

@b0rk thank you for doing this work. ❤️
@b0rk Near the end of the git-push page, under ``git push origin +dev:master'', the second diagram looks wrong to me.
@b0rk did you do this out of your own interest? Or do you have some kind of funding to do this work?
@ddbeck I funded all my own work on it, I took a break from doing normal Wizard Zines work for a bit
the experience made me curious about the open source docs funding landscape though, i’m going to watch the talk i saw on your site about resources

@ddbeck I’d love to read that, I was sad to hear Season of Docs ended
