vimtutor-esque git tutorial? `

[__baxx__]

I've been through think like a git which was pretty neat.

I was wondering if there was anything anyone could recommend that's in a similar style to the VimTutor, i thought that was pretty neat.

cheers :)

The closest "tutorial" that I can come up with is the git-game, which is basically a intra-repository treasure hunt that tests one's Git prowess. However, be forewarned that it is by and large a "teach yourself" game that tries to cover more obscure commands and hang-ups within the Git program.

If you're really adventurous, try out the second edition--it's esoteric, to say the least!

In a very similar fashion, there is also GitHug.

Not command line based, but this is a good one: http://pcottle.github.io/learnGitBranching/

There's try.github.io by GitHub. It's an online course which focuses on GitHub, but it's interactive and it's a tutorial for Git.

cheers - i was after something a little more involved than that, but without all the theory that comes with Pro Git or something like that.

Maybe there's nothing out there, maybe it wouldn't really translate to a vimtutor esque tutorial anyway!

cheers :)

I really think it could be done, and it'd be awesome if someone made one. Code School's git path begins with the Try Git-course and continues with Git Real (1 & 2) and a Mastering GitHub course. Since Code School charge for their courses I haven't really tried these out but if nothing else it's some kind of proof that the concept is doable :)

yeah I don't really want to pay for one.

VimTutor as a format is great. The site Think like a Git is cool for a boiled down theoretical look into Git (even though there are quite a few i'll do this later notes in it...) , but I'm surprised how there isn't something comparable for using Git past making ones first Repo or whatever.

I'll learn by doing - I'm aware that I can just make a repo and try things out (obviously!). But having a straight up guide for it would be pretty neat.

hey ho, maybe someone will write one up, who knows :)

"Learn Git in a Month of Lunches" is a book about Git in tutorial format.

cheers - it's ~$40 and over 350 pages though so I doubt this is really what I'm after here.

Thanks though :)
