Hello all,

We would like to ask you a few questions about your use of the Git version control system. This survey is mainly to understand who is using Git, how and why.

The results will be published to the Git wiki on the GitSurvey2011 page (https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitSurvey2011) and discussed on the git mailing list.

The survey would be open from 5 September till 3 October 2011.

Please devote a few minutes of your time to fill this simple questionnaire, it will help a lot the git community to understand your needs, what you like of Git, and of course what you don't like of it.

The survey can be found here:
  http://tinyurl.com/GitSurvey2011
  https://www.survs.com/survey/VCAGZA8CT5
There is also alternate version which does not require cookies,
but it doesn't allow one to go back to response and edit it.
  https://www.survs.com/survey/MRRGT8OEFV

P.S. At request I can open a separate channel in survey, with a separate survey URL, so that responses from particular site or organization could be separated out.

Please send me a email with name of channel, and I will return with a separate survey URL to use.

Hmmm, a cool thing about the git survey is that I learn quite a few new things (commands/concepts/websites) from it ...

Especially when it comes to various documentation/help/tool resources, it's a nice concise list!

Jakub, thanks for your work!

I've made a few last minute minor edits on the wiki (language-wise) and linked to it from identi.ca, twitter and g+. Hope that's alright.

Let the results come in!

Thank you for announcing it via microblogging / social network sites.
I really appreciate spreading the word about Git User's Survey 2011.
 
Unfortunately when I had free time and got to correcting the survey,
Git Wiki was down already, and it stays unfortunately down till now.
When it is up, I'll review your corrections and fix survey
appropriately... well, if it will get up before survey closing.

3500+ responses and counting...

Those were only about the intro paragraph on the wiki, not about the content of the survey. Don't worry ;)

Yeah!

P.S.: I don't remember what year I filled in my first survey. Can we have an answer "3+" next time...

You had me worry (especially that I got one minor language-wise fixup, "commit" -> "a commit")... ;-)

And that even without GitHub announcing it (yes, I send request, and
resent it yesterday via email rather than GitHub IM system), or
announcement on Git Homepage (Scott is hard to reach...).

Well, there is "I don't remember, but I have participated in the past" answer... and you can select it _in addition_ to marking years that you are sure about.

Sorry about this - we posted on our blog the other day and I'm trying to put it on the git-scm site now. The old hosting solution was getting way out of date and hard to deploy to, so requests kept piling up. I'm moving the site over to Heroku so I can git push to deploy and the DNS updates are taking forever. When it finally goes through a bunch of updates will be live, including the Survey announcement and the temporary removal of several k.org links.
