Foojay Podcast #26: The Future of Source Control and CI/CD
Most developers reach for Git without a second thought, but the tools we use to track code have a long history and an uncertain future. We wanted to step back and ask where source control and CI/CD pipelines go from here. Host Hanno Embregts sits down with Trisha Gee (Gradle), Ixchel Ruiz (JFrog), and Pierre-Étienne Meunier (Pijul) for episode #26 of the Foojay Podcast.
What we talked about
- Automating the boring parts of a developer’s workflow
- The evolution from CVS to Subversion to Git
- Developer Productivity Engineering and the human side of tooling
- Daily struggles with version control systems
- How Pijul approaches the problems Git leaves open
- Patches versus branches versus trunk-based development
- Improvements version control systems still need
- A ten-year outlook on source control
Why it matters
Source control sits at the center of every team’s daily work, so small frictions add up fast. The guests bring perspectives from build tools, artifact management, and a new VCS, which gives the conversation a wide angle.
