Although I prefer the Pro Git book, it's clear that different resources are helpful to different people. For those looking to get an understanding of Git, I've linked to Git for Beginners: Zero to Hero ๐
The author of "Git for Beginners: Zero to Hero ๐" posted the following on Reddit:
Hey there folks!
I've rewritten the git tutorial. I've used over the years whenever newbies at work and friends come to me with complex questions but lack the git basics to actually learn.
After discussing my git shortcuts and aliases elsewhere and over DMs it was suggested to me that I share it here.
I hope it helps even a couple of y'all looking to either refresh, jumpstart or get a good grasp of how common git concepts relate to one another !
It goes without saying, that any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated ๐
TL;DR: re-wrote a git tutorial that has helped friends and colleagues better grasp of git https://jdsalaro.com/blog/git-tutorial/
EDIT:
I've been a bit overwhelmed by the support and willingness to provide feedback, so I've enabled
hypothes.ison https://jdsalaro.com for /u/NervousQuokka and anyone else wanting chime in. You can now highlight and comment snippets. โ ๏ธ Please join thefeedback@jdsalarogroup via this link https://hypothes.is/groups/BrRxenZW/feedback-jdsalaro so any highlights, comments, and notes are visible to me and stay nicely grouped. Usinghypothes.isfor this is an experiment for me, so let's see how it goes :)
Git has a steep learning curve and everyone has a different way of learning things. So, kudos for taking the time for trying to clarify things.
Some unsolicited feedback: Most of the time, I see people struggling with
git checkout. And it's not without a reason.checkouthas too much responsibility. Or, to put it in a more nuanced way, from the plumbing point of view it has a single responsibility, but from the user's point of view it has many. So, I try to suggest usingswitchandrestoreinstead ofcheckoutwhen appropriate. But old habits die hard, I still usecheckoutfor both of those things. I found a concise Stackoverflow answer. Maybe it would also clarify things for your audience?I wholeheartedly agree, I'll add this edit to my backlog !
I see that your blog focuses on Git. I'm not sure if you are aware, or not, but there is a Git community at https://programming.dev/c/git. Feel free to share links to your blogs.
It's not really that my blog focuses on git, rather than that's what I chose to get active again with :) I've got many posts drafted but decided to start with topics I'm well acquainted with and newbies feel are challenging. I'll post there !! Thanks ๐๐ผ
