Dvc.org: term: SCM -> Git

[jorgeorpinel]

Git is the only SCM supported on DVC and probably will be for a long time. Also, most of the docs use likely Git-specific language such as "tags" and "branches", as well as git ... commands in sample code blocks.

• [ ] Try to get rid of "SCM", except perhaps in very general descriptions of data versioning problems. Use "Git" or `git` otherwise.
• [ ] Review also sentences/paragraphs where "tag" and "branch" is used for terminology correctness.

Also I think that it might be better if the option --no-scm of dvc init is renamed to --no-git, since Git is the only SCM supported and there are no plans (yet) to support any other SCM.

@dashohoxha good point, we can create an alias probably. Create aa ticket with this suggestion on DVC core repo, let's see what the @iterative/engineering thinks about this.

[jorgeorpinel]

Yes, this issue I wrote a while ago before it was decided that only Git would be supported (for the time being). Now I think we should replace all mentions of "SCM" for "Git" or git.

I can work on this.

[jorgeorpinel]

Sure @Zenix27 this is a simple one to test our process in the context of GSoD, thanks! Please make sure you've read https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/contributing/docs first.

Hi @jorgeorpinel , is this issue available?

[pared]

Hi @srishti-nema! Seems like as of today, @Zenix27 is working on it now. @Zenix27 can you confirm?

[Zenix27]

@pared Not now, @srishti-nema you can move forward on this for now, I am working on understanding the repro.

[pared]

@jorgeorpinel can we assign @srishti-nema to that one?

[jorgeorpinel]

Sure, go for it @srishti-nema, thanks.
