No, Git is alive and well. Git is under active development and continual iterative improvement.

Github might be on the decline, but git != github

git-difftool is quite helpful, especially if you want an easy way to integrate existing file-based diff tools.

Nor Catmull, unfortunately. FWIW, the article is centered around the financing and IPO side of the story.

> We did not want to spend time maintaining a backward compatible parser or doing code archaeology. So this option was discarded.

Considering all of the effort and hoop-jumping involved in the route that was chosen, perhaps this decision might be worth revisiting.

In hindsight, maintaining a parser might be easier and more maintainable when compared to the current problems that were overcome and the future problems that will arise if/when the systemd libraries decide to change their C API interfaces.

One benefit of a freestanding parser is that it could be made into a reusable library that others can use and help maintain.

The "official" repo is the gitlab repo[1], but the github mirror has more watchers/stars.

If you're into multi-repo setups then you might be interested in garden. I built this specifically for handling dozens of repos as single units.

That sounds rough. This is anecdotal, but in my Linux corner of the world, ccls has been an easier user experience as a C and C++ LSP since I've never had to resort to messing with flags in the generated file.

I haven't used clangd myself, though, so I can't say either way, I just know ccls works well.

By convention I tend to have the generated build system in build/ at the top-level of the repo so that the file is at build/compile_commands.json. That, or I'll arrange to have a symlink there pointing to one generated elsewhere.

The nvim snippet I use in my init.lua to setup ccls to work in that scenario is:

    vim.lsp.config('ccls', {
        init_options = {
            compilationDatabaseDirectory = 'build',
        },
    })
    vim.lsp.enable('ccls')

My actual config does also contain a capabilities = ... argument that forwards the default_capabilities() from nvim-cmp, but you get the point. I hope that helps in case you're curious to give neovim another spin.

ctrl-n and ctrl-p should let you select next and previous from the autocomplete menu while avoiding the arrow keys.

There's an ongoing effort to rework core Git so that the hash implementation can be swapped out for eg. SHA256. [1]

jGit is actually a separate project from core Git, but once it gets adopted into core Git we can expect that jGit will follow suite, given that it's critical to Gerrit and other projects.

Google threw money at the problem and that didn't help. Lookup the history behind the "Unladen Swallow" project.
