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.

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.

Upgrade your local installation of Git, especially when cloning with –recurse-submodules from untrusted repositories, or if you use git shell interactive mode.

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.

A tour of recent work to re-engineer Git’s garbage collection process to scale to our largest and most active repositories.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

We are pleased to announce the full lineup of talks and workshops for this year’s Git Merge conference in Chicago. 17 talks, 3 workshops, 1 panel, and some great company!

Monorepo performance can suffer due to the sheer number of files in your working directory. Git’s new builtin file system monitor makes it easy to speed up monorepo performance.

The recent changes to improve protocol security on GitHub.com are now coming to GitHub Enterprise Server, starting with version 3.6.
