Pretty cool that Linus Torvalds invented a completely distributed version control system and 20 years later we all use it to store our code in a single place.

Plenty of people use Codeberg and Gitlab. And it's still distributed - I don't need to lock files and ask coworkers if I can work on them.

Maybe if Git had native support for PRs and issues this wouldn't have happened. (And yes I'm aware of git send-email etc.)

I think it would be great if git have some kind of soft lock by default (like attach a text on some file without make it into actual commit). It could probably make peoples' live easier when you and teamates need to communicate what files you are changing thus reduce the chance of conflict.

FWIW git lfs does have support for locking files.
