Git 3.0 will move from the aging SHA-1 hashing algorithm to SHA-256, a change with implications for repositories, tooling and workflows across the software industry. The news is being discussed alongside developers sharing experiences migrating legacy code services, such as moving from Bitbucket Server to GitHub, and at least one Git co-creator has weighed in on the decision. Developers are debating how disruptive the transition will be for existing repositories.
Why now: The planned switch of Git's core hashing algorithm affects virtually every developer and has drawn public comment from a Git co-creator.
