diff and patch feel like tools that have existed forever. I feels weird to think that someone wrote them instead of them just manifesting fully formed with the first version of UNIX.
In 1000 years the religion is that Larry Wall invented the computer in three days.
Am I missing something or why does the author repeatedly misspell —recursive as —recusive?
Title is horribly incorrect. Simulating git would be more appropriate. I expected this to be a look at other version control systems around today. It's yet another 'let's recreate git from scratch, kinda' post.
But this is my first time using github pages, so I screwed it up.
Can't believe I just got rickrolled from a hackernews post
I was especially careful not to promise a video of the tutorial...

Then why do we have titles at all if people need to read the "initial lines" to know what it's about? I don't see how that's a reason not to just improve the title. Perhaps the problem was that I also felt like this was not what I expected.
Perhaps here it needs a better title. In the actual page the short description comes before that heading. Not sure what the best answer would be, use the longer text (too long), keep the first significant heading as title (some like yourself find this misleading), or make something up that fits (some may complain of editorialising or just that they think the alternative title is itself wrong in some way). Or you coul…
The answer is to not humor people who have unreasonable complaints about things that are their own fault (making assumptions about the content of an article aka judging a book by its cover). The title is fine.
A long time ago before git I've casually run into quilt[1]. Not really immediate but if you don't like git may be nice to use. On IETF[2] there's a quick tutorial too. [1] http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt [2] https://tools.ietf.org/doc/quilt/quilt.html
And if you like both quilt and git, then there's stgit https://stacked-git.github.io/
