[GSoC 2014] Refactoring git rebase --interactive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi again, Git community!

My name is Quint Guvernator, and I am participating in the Google
Summer of Code program. I am in university at the College of William
and Mary in Williamsburg, VA and plan to major in Computer Science and
Linguistics.

I have been working on a microproject [1][2] to get the hang of
submitting patches and working with the mailing list.

I have just submitted my proposal for git rebase --interactive through
the google-melange website. In brief, I plan to refactor the shell
script, cleaning up parts where the code is incohesive or difficult to
decipher; add functionality to the script; and improve documentation
by describing the script in comments and improving our user docs. I
think it is important not to rush into new features, however, and
detail in my proposal the extent to which I will stay in contact with
the community through this list and on IRC.

Should the work on rebase --interactive not take all summer, I would
work to improve the quality of Git documentation. I am a native
English speaker and copy-edit a local newspaper, so I feel I am
qualified to edit and extend the Git documentation.

I am happy to receive private mail, so please send any issues or
questions you may have either to the list or directly to my inbox.

Thanks for your consideration for GSoC.
