Learn Git in the Browser

Shameless self promotion:<p><a href="http://pcottle.github.io/learnGitBranching/?demo" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pcottle.github.io&#x2F;learnGitBranching&#x2F;?demo</a><p>I found the try.github.io tutorial very underwhelming -- it emulates enough of git to just fall into the uncanny valley. I also prefer visual learning -- hence I made the above!

Thanks for the tutorial. I appreciate that Git is complex and powerful, but I didn&#x27;t need a tutorial for Subversion. Git is baffling. The error messages are cryptic and unhelpful. It deters the casual user. Can I suggest a list of the absolute, bare-bones minimum set of commands for a project where there will be no merging, just uploading by one person, and downloading by others?

This is good as well: <a href="http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2012/07/minimal-version-control-lesson-use-it/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.win-vector.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2012&#x2F;07&#x2F;minimal-version-contr...</a>

Shouldn&#x27;t git add -A be used as default instead of git add . ?

I&#x27;ve always found the git CLI really odd. For example, when doing a git diff, how would anyone use the following information that gets printed out?<p>new file mode 100644<p>index 0000000..cfbc74a<p>And you have all of these symbols that show up in the diff like &quot;+&quot; before a new line (why not just +?). I imagine there are good reasons for all of this, but I also feel like some of this should be hidden behind a --verbose flag or something.

Looks good. Another option: <a href="https://www.git-tower.com/learn/ebook" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.git-tower.com&#x2F;learn&#x2F;ebook</a>

I&#x27;m no designer but I would move the &#x27;Advice&#x27; section to the top of the page below the command. I didn&#x27;t notice the lower right hand side of the screen kept changing.<p>I feel like I was just doing what I was told rather than learning. Is this more for individuals with SCM experience or beginners?

On an iPad, I just get a blank white screen... Does the site use flash, or is there a problem right now?

What the heck is an octobox? Do you really want a git tutorial to use github-specific terms like that?

Cool for learning Git. However, not that great for the first time somebody uses a version control system.<p>Does anybody have a good tutorial for &quot;Code Version Control for Dummies (while using Git)&quot;?

We used this tutorial at a Girl Develop It workshop last year. It worked really well! I also learned jQuery via Code School on my own time the year before that. Keep up the good work!

Just sent this to a new co worker who just got into her first programming job. It&#x27;s a great resource that helped me when I was starting.

Found this a really useful introduction to Git, thanks!

Nice tool. I keep suggesting it to people wanting to learn git.
