Git/Systems

Git-based systems

Don't you too hate the emptiness in file:/usr/share/src/ of 2017 open-source misnomed distros?

Or their not letting you gdb each process down to the deepest library printf?

Or their maximal tarball bloat for minimal changes?

PS: A more ideal year 2017 would have seen us start this chapter with an eloquent "apt install https://packages.debian.org/git-mediawiki && git clone https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Git && cd Git && git pull && emacs Systems && git checkin . && git commit && git push" lookalike idiom!

Goal: running system(s) entirely made of Git with many a git submodule or git subtree
