Linus' software revolution

The software development world was rocked with Linus Torvalds's development of Linux. Contributions of random bits of code from many people were being submitted every day and managing the complexity of such a chaotic project was becoming unbearable. That is why Linus' second baby git was born. Linus loved his creation so much that he named git, just like Linux, after himself. Git is a version control system that is shifting the paradigm in version control from centralized to distributed. It is yet another great step in Linus' software revolution.
