Git's home page away from being a Rails app to being a static website that
is hosted on GitHub pages instead, today marks the day when Git's home
page at https://git-scm.com/ has finally moved. Or actually: yesterday
(because I took so long writing this email that I ended up sending it
after midnight).

This was truly a team effort, and I would like to celebrate everyone who
contributed:

Yay! A big thank _you_ for carrying it all through to completion.

I cowered in fear from the project on multiple occasions. And even when
you started working on it, I intentionally avoided getting involved
because I knew what a rabbit hole it could become. So I am doubly happy
that it was completed, and without me. :)

As with all big efforts, I am under no illusion about everything working
as intended, I do expect some fall-out to crop up (e.g. external links
that might now be broken, even if I tried very hard to avoid that). I hope
that the team spirit I described above invites more helping hands in
getting those issues found and sorted out.

Yeah. One of the reasons I was so enthusiastic about switching is that
we'd routinely see small breakages with the old site (failing
translation imports, search index going belly-up, oops we need to move
to a new version of ruby which subtly breaks all sorts of things, etc).
People will generally open issues in the GitHub repo as they see things,
and I figured that even with a few rough edges the new site was probably
going to be more reliable than the old one.
