I was trying to learn git and after searching a bit, I finally found some good open-source tutorials. Specifically, I followed those two tutorials, in this order:
- https://ohmygit.org/ (a computer application)
- https://learngitbranching.js.org/ (a website)
The second seems to cover a bit more advanced topics (it teaches more thoroughly about remote repositories)
Also after an alternativeto search, I found two more open-source resources:
- https://github.com/vishal2376/git-coach (an android application covering the very very basics)
- https://github.com/jlord/git-it-electron (An old computer application)
PS. Prior to these I had a basic git course, which I think wasn’t enough, but probably helped me either way and after this I had checked some git resources, which gave more of a rounded knowledge about git and I think are worth metnioning:
- https://jdsalaro.com/tutorial/git/index.html (this person is here on lemmy too)
- https://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html
- https://missing.csail.mit.edu/
- https://docs.codeberg.org/git/clone-commit-via-cli/
- https://github.com/SimonSchubert/LinuxCommandLibrary
Lastly, there’s the pro git book as well for anyone who wants to go even deeper: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
Thank you, I was just looking into what git is and what I could use it for
It’s a version control system, in the absolute broadest sense of the word. You can look at the version of your code, you had yesterday. And your mate can create their own version of your code, which they can later send to you and you can combine it with your version.
So, in some sense, it’s a time machine and in the other sense, it’s the basis for how collaboration in software development works at all.
