After three months of development, the release of the distributed source control system Git 2.52 has been announced. Git is known for its high productivity and non-linear development tools based on branching and merging. It ensures the integrity of the history and resistance to retroactive changes by using implicit hashing of the entire previous history in each commit and digital signatures of developers on tags and commits. The Git code is distributed under the GPLv2+ license.
The new version of Git contains 637 changes, with the participation of 94 developers, 33 of whom are new to Git development. Some major innovations in Git 2.52 include:
- Added the command “git last-modified” to display a list of files in the specified revision and the commits through which the last changes were made to each of these files.
- Added the “git repo” command.
