[$] Git considers SHA-256, Rust, LLMs, and more

Date:
Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:26:14 +0000

Description:
The Git source-code management system is a foundational tool upon which
much of the free-software community is based.  For many people, Git simply
works, though perhaps in quirky ways, so the activity of its development
community may not often appear on their radar.  There is a lot happening in
the Git world at the moment, though, as the project works toward a 3.0
release sometime in 2026.  Topics of interest in the Git community include
the SHA-256 transition, the introduction of code written in Rust, and how
the project should view contributions created with the assistance of large
language models.
