Any comment about upcoming Git Rev News edition 140

@jnareb

A currently mostly empty draft is there:

https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/rev_news/drafts/edition-140.md

Feel free to comment in this issue, suggest topics, suggest persons to interview, or use the edit button (that looks like a pen) to edit and create a pull request with the changes you would like.

Let's try to publish this edition around the end of October 2026!

Thanks!

post about changes in LearnGit.io, from PR rn-137: Add learngit.io updates to tools & sites #855

I am reading through Git Merge 2026 conference notes (linked in previous edition), and for many talks we have at least some references in past editions. Something to remember when individual talks are on YouTube - hopefully before edition 140.

Affiliation: submitted on behalf of FluxGit. AI helped draft this suggestion.

Possible entry for edition 140's Git tools and sites section:

FluxGit Git School is a free set of nine
guided Git exercises and a playground, available in eleven languages.
It uses an in-memory simulated repository, without accessing local files
or connecting to real Git remotes. Exercises cover misplaced commits,
reset recovery, deleted branches, detached HEAD, conflicts and divergent
branches. The simulator supports a subset of Git commands.

This section went public on 20 October. No account or installation is
needed to practise. Each exercise connects to the relevant written guide
where one exists; existing video tutorials are linked alongside them.

One example is the existing
1:50 reset recovery walkthrough.
It distinguishes recovery of a retained commit from uncommitted work:
the reflog cannot guarantee recovery after expiry or object cleanup.

The learning material is free and sits on a commercial Git client's
website. Please consider it for the educational resources section.

@jnareb, yeah, the talks are on Youtube now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJJp0RE7cd4&list=PLRfSktKnsgUs

@fluxgitdev, thanks for the suggestion! @jnareb will likely take a look soon.

Possible educational link for edition 140: Git worktrees for AI coding agents.

It covers task checkouts, diff review, conditional fast-forwards, divergent-history refusal and runtime-isolation limits. Native Git examples were checked in a disposable repository. No installation or signup is required to read it.

Disclosure: I’m building Git Ghost; Codex assisted with writing and verification. The guide works independently of the experimental CLI. Would it fit?

Aha, a little bit surprised when being Cc'ed ;-). Thanks for having me!

Who is Paco?

 Who is Paco?

Prolly a friend of his, I guess

I submitted some (presumably part 1) of tiny fixes and rephrasings with 427fd7a<427fd7a> . Please scrutinize.

Thanks @fluxgitdev for the suggestion. I have added the link in 6bbed93.

Note that the visualization of the history lacks arrows or lines connecting commits (connecting commit to its parents, or vice versa).

@jnareb, you might also want to consider:

A "Git Tools and Sites" entry about git-cl

A "Light Reading" entry about "Reading git status without running git"

Added in 9bef593 and 56fc41f, respectively.

Thanks to @BHFock and @suresk for the suggestions.

I think it would not fit in place for this edition. There are already many articles about similar topics: copy-on-write worktrees, and a bit about use of worktrees for AI agents.

Let's schedule it for the next edition.

@jnareb

@jnareb, thanks for the great links!

@mjaix, thanks for the fixes! They look good to me.
