If you're interested in git and exploring Java, you might consider helping to evaluate pull requests for git plugin or the git client plugin of the Jenkins continuous integration server. Those components are written in Java, but they rely on command line git for the git implementation. That would allow you to explore Java, learn more about git, and possibly help an open source project. Bug reports are at https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/issues/?filter=14040 and https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/issues/?filter=14041 Source code is at https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-client-plugin and https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin Mark Waite > On 30 Apr 2016 00:32, "Dale R.
