They’re probably going to have to change their name to something that does not have “git” in it: https://public-inbox.org/git/20170202022655.2jwvudhvo4hmueaw...


Gitenberg was one of the alternate spellings of Gutenberg in the 1400s.


I propose Gytenberg


or, widely accepted standard [in german and slavic-languages] way back then, 'v' instead of 'u', and vice versa


ah well for some reason the visual asthetics of gytenberg vs gvtenberg made me chose the former (even though at first I typed gvtenberg)

fwiw, Gitenberg has been around at least since 2012.


They've been named like that for six years apparently so I'm not sure how that works for what you linked above. It is a valid point that hopefully doesn't cause problems.
