Hi everyone! I am Sidhant Sharma, from Delhi, India. I'm a third year Software Engineering student at Delhi Technological University. I am looking to contribute to Git via GSoC 2016. I have also worked on one of the microprojects [1]. I've been using git for nearly two years now, and continue to be surprised by the vast number of features this powerful DVCS possesses. I want to contribute to Git because it has become a daily-use tool for me and it feels exciting to be a part of the community that makes effective collaborative development possible.
I would like to work on the project titled 'Git Beginner mode', and have been reading up the discussions that took place regarding this [2]. The reason I wish to take this project in particular is that when I initially started out with Git, and was still discovering how things really worked, I sometimes felt the need for some sort of safety-latch to keep me from making destructive and/or irreversible changes. So, this project gives me the opportunity to implement something on these lines for the future beginners. I believe a lot of discussion on the idea is due. I'm reading up on the commands that were mentioned on the project page to better understand what the project entails, and trying to design a solution for this, without making git harder to use or getting in the user's learning. I would really appreciate your comments, suggestions and critique on this. Thanks and regards, Sidhant Sharma [1]: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/288035 [2]: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/285893/focus=286613 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
