Subject: Consensus on "Git"
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:32:30 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ee77f5c20911110032r65a60653sfeef34e3de07d17e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi folks,

Is there consensus on "Git" being the standard capitalisation, versus
"GIT"? I only really see "git" and "Git" on the mailing list and in
most external documentation and websites (e.g. git-scm.com and
github.com), but git's source tells a different picture:

$ cat *.[ch] | egrep -o '\bG[Ii][Tt]\b' | sort | uniq -c
  36 GIT
   7 Git
$ cat Documentation/* 2> /dev/null | egrep -o '\bG[Ii][Tt]\b' | sort | uniq -c
 284 GIT
 155 Git



Dave.
