From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: rochkind@basepath.com (Marc Rochkind) Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 08:25:38 -0600 Subject: [TUHS] Claim your early Unix contributions on GitHub In-Reply-To: <56FB8616.6060908@aueb.gr> References: <56FB8616.6060908@aueb.gr> Message-ID: What do you mean by "early"? All of my early work was done under my login "marc", and in those days to email we just typed: % mail marc Email was internal to the system. Email between machines came along later. Also, I don't think we ever used the word "commit." Actually, much of my early work predated the introduction of SCCS. ;-) marc On Wed, Mar 30, 2016 at 1:53 AM, Diomidis Spinellis wrote: > The Unix History repository on GitHub [1] aims to provide the evolution of > Unix from the 1970s until today under Git revision control.
