ci: use git-sdk-64-minimal build artifact Instead of a shallow fetch followed by a sparse checkout, we are better off by using a separate, dedicated Pipeline that bundles the SDK as a build artifact, and then consuming that build artifact here. In fact, since this artifact will be used a lot, we spent substantial time on figuring out a minimal subset of the Git for Windows SDK, just enough to build and test Git. The result is a size reduction from around 1GB (compressed) to around 55MB (compressed). This also comes with the change where we now call `usr\bin\bash.exe` directly, as `git-cmd.exe` is not included in the minimal SDK. That reduces the time to initialize Git for Windows' SDK from anywhere between 2m30s-7m to a little over 1m. Note: in theory, we could also use the DownloadBuildArtifacts@0 task here. However, restricted permissions that are in effect when building from forks would let this fail for PR builds, defeating the whole purpose of the Azure Pipelines support for git.git.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
