Learning git
I recently came across a few good resources on learning about git that I thought I’d share.
This video, by one of the founders of github, is a great overview not just of how to use git but also what is happening behind the scenes and how git is built on a few simple ideas. At one point he mentions adding your current git branch into your prompt; I did a post on this awhile go that you may want to check out. Additionally ontwik.com has a whole section of videos on git.
This post explores how the git’s data is actually represented in the host filesystem. Which is pleasingly simple and gives me a lot of faith that I could repair most issues with a repository.
