Git is a free and open-source software shared under the GPL-2.0-only license. Git was originally created by Linus Torvalds for version control during the development of the Linux kernel. [14] The trademark "Git" is registered by the Software Freedom Conservancy, marking its official recognition and continued evolution in the open-source community.
This technique is used by the Git revision control tool. (Git's recursive merge implementation also handles other awkward cases, like a file being modified in one version and renamed in the other, but those are extensions to its three-way merge implementation; not part of the technique for finding three versions to merge.)
NonVisual Desktop Access (NVDA) is a free and open-source, portable screen reader [1] for Microsoft Windows. [2] The project was started by Michael Curran in 2006. [3]NVDA is programmed in Python.
The users of the version control system can branch any branch. Branches are also known as trees, streams or codelines. The originating branch is sometimes called the parent branch, the upstream branch (or simply upstream, especially if the branches are maintained by different organizations or individuals), or the backing stream.
Mercurial [open, distributed] – written in Python as an open source replacement to BitKeeper; decentralized and aims to be fast, lightweight, portable, and easy to use; Panvalet [proprietary, shared] – Around since the 1970s, source and object control for IBM mainframe computers
This option allows you to see how often each branch in your program was taken. Unconditional branches will not be shown, unless the -u option is given.-c (--branch-counts): Write branch frequencies as the number of branches taken, rather than the percentage of branches taken.-n (--no-output): Do not create the gcov output file.
[1] [2] [3] Git, the world's most popular version control system, [4] is a distributed version control system. In 2010, software development author Joel Spolsky described distributed version control systems as "possibly the biggest advance in software development technology in the [past] ten years". [2]
The Linux kernel project decided to use Git rather than Mercurial, but Mercurial is now used by many other projects (see below). In an answer on the Mercurial mailing list, Olivia Mackall explained how the name "Mercurial" was chosen:
