Hey everyone, I just shipped a big update to the git-scm.com website, incorporating tons of feedback I've gotten on the site, especially from new users, over the years. I think it will help new users to Git find the right installer and get up and running easier. I have other ideas of things to add to it in the future, but I think this is much better than the site that has served us well for a few years now.
[...] I was looking over the updated website and what follows are my initial impressions: 1) I like the old logo much better. 2) I notice that GitHub is NOT listed as a company or project using git on the main page. What SCM does GitHub use? :-O 3) On the About -> Small and Fast Page: you show a comparison to Git and Git* for the clone operation but there is no explanation of how Git and Git* differ. 4) It's 2 clicks to get to a category view of the man pages: I think that's 1 too many. 5) I would like to see a page that lists all of the documentation in the core distribution in one place. A good place for this would be somewhere near the top of the category view page. 6) The documentation pages should let the user decide with one click which version of the documentation set they wish to view instead of having to do it for every page. 7) A help topic on the category view page about determining which version of the documentation matches the user's installed version of Git would be useful.
