Git for dummies

January 31st, 2009 by Trent Leave a reply »

Only just started to finally get stuck into learning git. It certainly seems to be revolutionising the way we do version control. I’m pretty hooked on subversion and I have to admit, I thought that was as good as it gets! But the hype around git to much to ignore.

Here’s some resources I’ve found really useful to get (git) going:

Resources

  • GitCasts by Scott Chacon. Screencasts are for me one of the best ways to learn things, these casts, although very quick, give you that good leg up.
  • Git from the bottom up by John Wiegley. There is a link from his blog entry to a paper he has put together on his understanding of Git. Always good to read some theory!
  • Git – SVN crash course from the offical git site. A great place to start if like me, you’re already familiar with svn.
  • Github’s Git Cheat Sheet is a good resource too!
