No, Git is alive and well. Git is under active development and continual iterative improvement. Github might be on the decline, but git != github

git-difftool is quite helpful, especially if you want an easy way to integrate existing file-based diff tools.

Nor Catmull, unfortunately. FWIW, the article is centered around the financing and IPO side of the story.

The "official" repo is the gitlab repo[1], but the github mirror has more watchers/stars. [1] http://gitlab.com/garden-rs/garden

If you're into multi-repo setups then you might be interested in garden. I built this specifically for handling dozens of repos as single units. https://github.com/garden-rs/garden…

These are called stacked branches in git. You're possibly looking for: git rebase --update-refs ... or a GUI like Git Cola that does this for you by default.

Likewise, it's better to optimize for experienced readers than it is to optimize for students.
