Git Merge 2025 Celebrates Two Decades of Git with Insightful Talks and Community Engagement
Git Merge 2025 marked the 20th anniversary of Git with a two-day event at GitHub's San Francisco headquarters. The gathering united global contributors, both physically and virtually, to reflect on Git's legacy and explore its future trajectory.
Day one featured a technical DEEP dive, with Scott Chacon blending humor and code in a live GitButler CLI demo. Google's Martin von Zweigbergk dissected Jujutsu's Git integration, while Jacob Stopak demonstrated gamified learning tools for version control. Steffen Hiller and Zoran Petrovic presented novel repository visualization techniques.
The second day shifted focus to community building, though details remain forthcoming. The event's hybrid format ensured widespread participation, reinforcing Git's position as the backbone of collaborative software development.
