In this episode we talk to Git contributor and maintainer of Git for Windows, Johannes Schindelin. He has a lot of thoughts and ideas on development, community and code reviews, especially in open source and especially in the development of Git itself.<br />
<br />
We talk to Johannes about the difficulties of contributing to Git itself, and tools that could make the experience more user friendly, like for example <a href="https://public-inbox.org/README.html">public-inbox</a>, which is both a mailing list archive and a Git repository.<br />
