Git for idiots..
« on: November 04, 2011, 12:51:14 PM »
Hey Guys,

I can honestly say I've never used a VCS before for my projects, and I am currently undertaking one with a few work colleagues and would like to use git.. The problem is I have absolutely no clue how to use git or VCS systems at all for that matter. All the jargon about branches and pull requests is confusing the hell out of me and wondered if you guys know any good "for dummy" guides on the internets to teach beginners how to use git?

Thanks

If you want to understand how dvcs works, The Git Parable teaches you the concepts without dealing with specific commands. Another good resource is Understanding Git Conceptually, which is longer but comes with command line instructions. Pro Git may be somewhat intense for beginners, but it is also very useful.

... or you could just read the Git manual, and other similar guides. But I figured that you were looking for some solid conceptual knowledge.
