I was surprised how much I learned about available Git tools and commands just by filling out the options in this survey.


Same here. I wonder if there's a convenient way to grab the survey in one big text file... just too lazy to copy-paste page by page.


That. I'm a relative git novice, and feared that the survey would not allow me to answer well because of that. The opposite was the case and I learned about possibilities and tools.


Were the results of last year's survey published? I never looked that up.

EDIT: Apparently, they were published here[0]. I can't open the site right now, though.

Yep, kernel.org has been down for awhile, talked about here[0]. I hadn't realized how many of our Debian boxes used the kernel.org mirror.

Please, make it a bit shorter! I started filling it but stopped after 15-20 questions.. I thought it would never end! My guess is that only hardcore git users will fill it up to the end which would make the results invalid, no?


It tells you at the beginning exactly how long it is (35 questions, 10 pages). It only took me about 5 minutes.

It may be a bit hard to see now, but they also record partial answers and post them all online.
