Taylor Blau, a staff software engineer at GitHub, gave a comprehensive breakdown of the changes in Git 2.40. The optional git leap tool, which is contained in the Git contrib directory, now supports Emacs and Vim. The git jump utility wraps git commands like git grep before feeding the results to Vim’s quickfix list.

$ git check-attr -a git.c
git.c: diff: cpp
git.c: whitespace: indent,trail,space
Improvements in Git 2.40 also allow for the replacement of older Perl or Shell code with more up-to-date C code. Git instructions can now execute more quickly on systems like Windows thanks to this. The legacy implementation git add –interactive has been removed, and git bisect is now implemented in C as a native builtin.
Version 2.40 of Git includes some upgrades to its CI infrastructure. For Git developers, this means that several resource-intensive, lengthy Windows-specific CI builds have been blocked.
