or:
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/apl.git
Regarding myself, I'd rather die before using g
I couldn't agree with Jürgen more!
Although I agree that GIT has become the most popular, having used both

an investment in learning git.
It does require setting aside the mental m
I'm sorry. But you all forgot the one “source control” (in quotes, because

Wow. That thing was horrible.
It didn't have a network protocol. Network support was implementing by
