How To Use Github

Tom Clarke edited this page Apr 24, 2018 · 5 revisions

I've put together a git guide! The public info on git (enormous) is remarkably bad at explaining what actually happens during typical workflow.

Current efforts in a separate repo

Aim - understand in detail:

  • operations: fetch / push /commit / merge
  • concepts: branch, commit history, working tree vs commit tree, clone, fork

I expect this tutorial to evolve over several months since Git interests me: it is basically very simple, but all the guides I've read about it are either very complex, or leave out necessary core concepts. if anyone thinks they have a better guide please start an issue (which we use for discussions) on it and/or add a Wiki page with a link from here.
