Unfortunately this will probably run afoul of Git's trademark: "In addition, you may not use any of the Marks as a syllable in a new word or as part of a portmanteau (e.g., "Gitalicious", "Gitpedia") used as a mark for a third-party product or service without Conservancy's written permission. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision applies even to third-party marks that use the Marks as a syllable or as part of a…

So I should be seeing incoming lawsuits for GitLab (Who also acquired Gitorious and Gitter) GitHub, Gitea, GitKraken, Gitcoin, Gitpod, GitSense and a VSCode tool called GitLens?

Why haven't they happened yet?

Downvoters: So you have ALL sources to your claims that these aforementioned Git-related services have the necessary permissions to use the Git trademark from the Software Freedom Conservancy?

I don't want 'probablys' or 'maybes' but full sources to ALL these services that explicitly show the permission granted for using the Git trademark under license.

GitLab is covered. Evidence for the rest?

I like the approach that sourcehut took overall. I would like to find a way to implement issue tracking into Git, but the mailing list approach isn't a bad idea.

Thank you. I am interested, but am concerned by this statement: > This is now more than a proof of concept, but still not fully stable. Expect dragons and unfinished business

That's something you should ask the git-bug authors, I vaguely remember some being on this very website.

FWIW I don't even use git-bug, I just know it exists :).

V and it's creator get a lot of flack here on HN and the criticisms are probably warranted. However, I personally enjoy seeing them out here hustling and really trying to make their language succeed despite all the shortcomings. As someone who skews more apathetic, I enjoy seeing people driven by so much passion.

Now, it's time for me to be one of those critics! It's easy to promote the speed and size of your github alternative when it has a fraction of the features. I'll be curious to see where this goes and I think it has some value but only as a way to dogfood V itself.

Isn't that what Fossil does? https://www.fossil-scm.org/

Yes, but I honestly hate the idea of having to learn yet another SCM. I may reconsider at some point though, especially if more implementations emerge.

Unless someone has agreed to a contract binding them to the Git trademark policy, the policy would seem to serve as nothing but a statement as to the Conservancy’s preferences (except where it explicitly permits something, where it may constitute a gratuitous license); what is enforceable is trademark law.

But, for a git-related service offered in commercial trade, there would seem likely to be a trademark violation independent of the policy, so the Conservancy is probably within their rights to enforce the policy in this case.

You can add my startup GitSense as well

The thing is, from what I've read, if you were using Git before Git started cracking down, they will let it slide. I also think they don't care until you hit it big and cause issues for them.
