At Hacker School they encourage us to contribute to open source software and projects were are interested in. I'm in love with git, so naturally I want to contribute to you guys. Why git? Because it's an awesome tool that has many well thought out features that other source control tools lack like offline mode. I'd like to see more people using git, and I'd like to see it chosen as the source control tool used for team projects. So I was thinking about contributing the following (which are the reasons I've heard why people don't use git): 1) Commands are cryptic: I was thinking I could provide a wrapper to simplify the commands, for example to undo a local commit, I can introduce a "git undo commit", that wraps "reset" and will undo the last commit. Or maybe "git rollback" is a better name? 2) git undo command, that will undo the last command (if possible)? Other ideas: 3) Just like we have git-svn, maybe a=A0svn-git? Any help or if you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.=A0I can also start out by fixing some bugs to get into it. I couldn't figure out how to see a list of bugs though. How does one contribute to your documentation? Would it be submitting a patch just like with code? Please let me know what you think! Thanks, Leila
