git resources¶

Tutorials and summaries¶

github help is Git’s own help and tutorial site. github more help lists more resources for learning Git and GitHub, including YouTube channels. The list is constantly updated. In case you are used to subversion , you can directly consult the git svn crash course.

To make full use of Git, you need to understand the concept behind Git.

The following pages might help you:

• git parable — an easy read parable
• git foundation — more on the git parable
• git magic — extended introduction with intermediate detail in many languages
• git concepts — a technical page on the concepts

Other than that, many devlopers list their personal tips and tricks. Among others there are Fernando Perez, Nick Quaranto and Linus Torvalds.

• git add
