Hey

How do you pronounce git?

Is it like “jit”? or is it more like “gghit”?

I know ryan b pronounces it the second way 😉

Not sure how it’s supposed to pronounced. I pronounce it the first  
way.

Just wondering. I need some input on this? 🙂

Looking it up on Wikipedia suggests that it should be a hard g as it  
may be the English word for a stupid person or alternatively stand for  
Global Information Tracker.

Well, you don’t pronounce it “Rails”, that’s for sure. Go ask in a Git  
forum.

Best,
