What is `git-all` all about?

05 May 2016

I am not answering the question. I am asking!

Question is straightforward.

What does sudo apt-get install git-all do?

I tried to understand this myself by looking at the response of the above command on my terminal. Let’s take a look at it.

I am not really sure if I need all these things. I tried to google about it but I guess nobody ever thought of writing anything about it. Not even GitHub itself? Or I might have failed to search for an article online that talks about it.

Anyway, I hope somebody would find some time to add some comments here one day. And I thank that person in advance.
