<p>I hate calling software "a mistake", but I can't find any other way to |
|
describe Gerrit. You may see people using Gerrit 'cause Google uses it. The |
|
thing is: Google misunderstood what Git actually is.</p> |
|
<span id="continue-reading"></span> |
|
<p>When Linus Torvalds came with Git, he was trying to mimic another system, |
|
BitKeeper. Along with some improvements over CVS and SubVersion, Git made |
|
really easy to create and merge branches, something that was either |
|
almost-not-supported or slow-as-heck, depending on which tool you look at.</p> |
|
<p>You need to take this into consideration: Git made branches easy.</p> |
|
<p>Then someone came with the idea of Gerrit: Instead of managing branches, it |
|
actually manages <em>commits</em>. Instead of having a branch for each feature, you |
|
should have <em>one single commit</em> as feature. You can have branches on your |
|
machine, but the server only deal with commits.</p> |
|
<p>So Gerrit took Git, a tool that improved the way we deal with branches, and |
|
removed branches. This is akin to taking a text editor and taking away the |
|
ability to <em>edit text</em>. Does that sound right to you?</p> |
|
<p>In my personal opinion, what they did was to take git apart and put an err in |
|
the middle: gERRit.</p> |
|
<p>When I see someone using Gerrit, I know something is wrong there.</p> |
