  2. Git - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git

    Git supports rapid branching and merging, and includes specific tools for visualizing and navigating a non-linear development history. In Git, a core assumption is that a change will be merged more often than it is written, as it is passed around to various reviewers. In Git, branches are very lightweight: a branch is only a reference to one ...

  3. Branching (version control) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_(version_control)

    The users of the version control system can branch any branch. Branches are also known as trees, streams or codelines. The originating branch is sometimes called the parent branch, the upstream branch (or simply upstream, especially if the branches are maintained by different organizations or individuals), or the backing stream.

  4. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    In a digital signature system, a sender can use a private key together with a message to create a signature. Anyone with the corresponding public key can verify whether the signature matches the message, but a forger who does not know the private key cannot find any message/signature pair that will pass verification with the public key.

    In 2003, the naming of the asteroid moon Linus was motivated in part by the fact that the discoverer was an enthusiastic Linux user.

  6. Private information retrieval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_information_retrieval

    One trivial, but very inefficient way to achieve PIR is for the server to send an entire copy of the database to the user. In fact, this is the only possible protocol (in the classical or the quantum setting [1]) that gives the user information theoretic privacy for their query in a single-server setting. [2]

  7. ssh-keygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh-keygen

    Requests changing the passphrase of a private key file instead of creating a new private key. -t Specifies the type of key to create (e.g., rsa). -o Use the new OpenSSH format. -q quiets ssh-keygen. It is used by the /etc/rc file while creating a new key. -N Provides a new Passphrase. -B Dumps the key's fingerprint in Bubble Babble format. -l

  8. Multi-user software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-user_software

    The complementary term, single-user, is most commonly used when talking about an operating system being usable only by one person at a time, or in reference to a single-user software license agreement. Multi-user operating systems such as Unix sometimes have a single user mode or runlevel available for emergency

  9. File locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_locking

    Shared locks can be held by multiple processes at the same time, but an exclusive lock can only be held by one process, and cannot coexist with a shared lock. To acquire a shared lock, a process must wait until no processes hold any exclusive locks. To acquire an exclusive lock, a process must wait until no processes hold either kind of lock.
