Highlights from Git 2.40
The first Git release of the year is here! Take a look at some of our highlights on what's new in Git 2.40.
Update on the future stability of source code archives and hashes
A look at what happened on January 30, what measures we’re putting in place to prevent surprises, and how we’ll handle future changes.
Git security vulnerabilities announced
Git users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version, especially if they use `git apply` or `git clone` against untrusted patches or repositories.
Git security vulnerabilities announced
Git users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version, especially if they use `git archive`, work in untrusted repositories, or use Git GUI on Windows.
Highlights from Git 2.39
Another new release of Git is here to end the year! Take a look at some of our highlights on what's new in Git 2.39.
Git security vulnerabilities announced
Upgrade your local installation of Git, especially when cloning with --recurse-submodules from untrusted repositories, or if you use git shell interactive mode.
The Story of Scalar
New to Git v2.38, Scalar is a built-in repository manager for large repos. Here, we’ll tell the story of how Scalar went from a rough VFS for Git successor to a fully-integrated Git tool, with all of the engineering lessons learned in the process.

Another new release of Git is here! Take a look at some of our highlights on what's new in Git 2.38.
Scaling Git’s garbage collection
A tour of recent work to re-engineer Git’s garbage collection process to scale to our largest and most active repositories.
Git’s database internals V: scalability
This fifth and final part of our blog series exploring Git's internals shows several strategies for scaling your Git repositories that match related database sharding techniques.
Git’s database internals IV: distributed synchronization
We're examining Git’s internals to help make your engineering system more efficient. This post views Git as a distributed database and looks into its synchronization techniques, specifically ‘git fetch’ and ‘git push’.
Git’s database internals III: file history queries
Git’s file history queries use specialized algorithms that are tailored to common developer behavior. Level up your history spelunking skills by learning how different history modes behave and which ones to use when you need them.
Git’s database internals II: commit history queries
This post explores Git commit history as a database where ‘git log’ is the query language. Learn about Git’s custom query index – the commit-graph file – and how to make sure it's enabled in your repositories.
Git’s database internals I: packed object store
This blog series will examine Git’s internals to help make your engineering system more efficient. Part I discusses how Git stores its data in packfiles using custom compression techniques.
