Git
Git is an open-source distributed version control system created by Linus Torvalds in 2005. It allows developers to track file change history, manage code branches and merges, and support collaborative development. Git uses a decentralized architecture in which each user maintains a complete local copy of the repository. It provides efficient branch management and data integrity guarantees, and is the most widely used version control tool in software development.
Core Facts
Git supports cryptographic signing of commits and tags using GPG, and the signature binds the commit content to the signer's private key.
HowToLiveBetter's self-deployment process includes: git clone the repository, pip install -r requirements.txt, python run.py.
Git adopts a distributed architecture where every developer locally holds the complete version history, enabling most operations without relying on a central server
Timeline (last 90 days)
Maintainers typically implement backports by cherry-picking commits already fixed on the main branch onto the stable branch.
In the Git workflow, branching out means creating a new maintenance branch from the mainline, with subsequent fixes and releases for that series happening on this branch while the mainline continues development of the next major version.
Git allows specifying a custom CA certificate bundle file (in PEM format) via the http.sslCAInfo configuration option, overriding the default trust source.
On macOS, the system-provided Git uses Secure Transport as its TLS backend.
OpenSSL typically reads a PEM-format CA bundle file, such as /etc/ssl/cert.pem or the ca-bundle.crt bundled with Git.
On Hacker News, a post about Git on macOS still trusting the compromised eMudhra certificate received 306 points and 127 comments.
A custom certificate bundle specified via http.sslCAInfo requires tracking the certificate revocation list (CRL) or OCSP status oneself, and the configuration only applies to the current repository or globally to Git, without affecting other tools.
If Git is linked against OpenSSL and its CA bundle is not refreshed with system updates, the phenomenon of "revoked by the system but still trusted by Git" occurs.
Git itself does not implement TLS but delegates to an underlying TLS library (such as Secure Transport, OpenSSL, or LibreSSL).
The original post was titled "Ten days later," in which the author documented that Git on macOS still showed the system trusting the eMudhra certificate.
