I'm a ruby developer passionate about developing clean code that makes for programming happiness. I'm also am passionate about freedom, liberty, and capitalism, and enjoy jamming out some good rock or jazz on the piano.
I reside in Saratoga Springs, UT, with my family. I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (AKA the "Mormons") and I wield a strong testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ (yes we're Christians).
I'm currently employed by:
Google just granted the Git-OSX-Installer project page 50MB downloads, plus another 100MB in disk space, so we can now host the Git OS-X Install packages on Google Code. (and abandon the problematic free solution)
Thanks Google! We love you!
Now, if only, there was some way to reduce the file size of the installer. Right now, everything is compiling REALLY HUGE. The MingW guys have their package down to under 8MBs. Anyone have any suggestions?

How about removing the debugging symbols? That should shave off a lot of megabytes. top

Great idea :) That knocked off an additional 1.6 MB. Now it's down to 3.2MB. Thanks for the tip! top

btw... for that last comment to make complete sense, I should mention that Johannes Schindelin with the Windows Git install project responded to me and informed me that git makes a plethora of hardlinks to the same file.
I switched the hardlinks to symlinks, and everything works just the same, but the installer size went from 50MB to 4.8MB. top
