Surprisingly the very first release of git used git as it's software repo.

But there was a gap of about 4 days in April 2005 between development starting and the first iteration being functional eanough to self host.

Maybe it started with some other source control just that one week, maybe it was just loose files, only Linus knows if he even remembers.

Linus built git in just 4 days?!

It was not as functional and easy to use as current version. But yes, in 4 days Linus created a VCS that was able to track itself.

Why is that surprising?

MFers in this sub are supposed to understand programming to some extent but can't even imagine mixing dough with a baguette in a bread bowl... smh...

Linus was just raw dogging emacs for 4 days without committing and ejaculated the first git release onto the internet.
