RFC - Git Developer Blog

Hi all,

In backchannels recently there has been some discussion about the idea of a Git-project-blessed blog written by Git contributors, generally covering usability tips or overviews of the internals of Git which the general public tend to find confusing.

Ideally, we could use a channel like this to make Git better understood in the rest of the world, in a less formal setting than the man pages or gittutorial. I think it would be valuable to have resources which have been reviewed and endorsed by the Git contributor community, in addition to individual company blogs. (It might even make sense for contributors who would normally post this kind of thing to their company blog to cross-post the content in both places.)

Are folks interested in writing and reviewing this kind of content? Any ideas for where we may be able to host (maybe git-scm)? It could make sense to review contributions like this on the mailing list, so that we get the attention of those who wrote the features that are being covered in the blog posts - are we okay with the additional traffic?

Some example topics, from the top of my head:

 - Using `git worktree` Effectively
 - Overview of the Git Object Store
 - Finding Regressions with `git bisect`
 - Life of a Git Remote Request

The idea is that we could cover high level topics stringing together multiple components or giving power user advice, which we can't really do with the manpages.

Thoughts?
