Githug - an interactive way to learn how to use git

I like that people are learning Git, but why are there so many tutorials for it?<p>The Git commands that are most useful 95% of the time just didn't seem that hard to learn, IMO. It's not worth wasting memory for the other 5% of the time because I'll probably need to check the man pages anyway.

I always thought the term githug was for when you take a dead old Google Code project you didn't write, and give it a new home on github.

You got me...I got sucked into playing this tonight :) Very clever, you were able to get me to poke around with things I hadn't tried yet. Thanks for providing the reset option, I made a mistake at level 12 and it really came in handy. I'm now at level 20 and it looks like I'm supposed to add a level to the game ;)

I can't quite get past level 4: "Set up your git name and email, this is important so that your commits can be identified"<p>I had already set these up in my global config, but I ran the following commands anyway: git config user.name "My Name"; git config user.email "my_name@myemail.com"<p>Looking at the code, it seems that the program is supposed to ask me for my name and email, but it never did.

This is topical for me right now, and apologies in advance that I'm going to link back again to my blog at the end of this comment...<p>I've been thinking recently about how important it is to dominate your tools. Use git regularly? Then learn the shit out of it. Learn how it works in side and out.<p>Over the last few days I've been committing the entirety of <a href="http://book.git-scm.com/" rel="nofollow">http://book.git-scm.com/</a> to memory, and many little inefficiencies I never knew were there are now gone.<p>Committing stuff like this to memory is easy and fun: <a href="http://www.writemoretests.com/2012/02/how-to-remember-everything-ever-and-forever.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.writemoretests.com/2012/02/how-to-remember-everyt...</a>

<p><pre><code> note Because solution is a Proc, you cannot prematurely return out of it and as a result, must put an implicit return on the last line of the solution block. </code></pre> Maybe not <i>return</i>, but you can `next`: `next true if repo.valid?` works fine within Procs.

Anyone else increasingly disappointed at the lack of instant demos' on Github pages?

Funny how typing "githug" is a very mind twisting task. You end up with "github" even if you are thinking about the ending "g". Still a very clever name!

I have question on level 21, it said:<p>Contribute to this repository by making a pull request on Github.<p>The Hint: Forking the repository would be a good start!<p>Could someone clarify a bit more?

hmm. I don't see much "interactive" about it. it just spits "Sorry, this solution is not quite right!" at me. WTF am I supposed to do?

I am wondering how many levels are there? o.O ?

interesting idea, but a sample session output in the README would help the short-attention-span peop... brb.
