I was trying to learn git and after searching a bit, I finally found some good open-source tutorials. Specifically, I followed those two tutorials, in this order:
- https://ohmygit.org/ (a computer application)
- https://learngitbranching.js.org/ (a website)
The second seems to cover a bit more advanced topics (it teaches more thoroughly about remote repositories)
Also after an alternativeto search, I found two more open-source resources:
- https://github.com/vishal2376/git-coach (an android application covering the very very basics)
- https://github.com/jlord/git-it-electron (An old computer application)
PS. Prior to these I had a basic git course, which I think wasn’t enough, but probably helped me either way and after this I had checked some git resources, which gave more of a rounded knowledge about git and I think are worth metnioning:
- https://jdsalaro.com/tutorial/git/index.html (this person is here on lemmy too)
- https://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html
- https://missing.csail.mit.edu/
- https://docs.codeberg.org/git/clone-commit-via-cli/
- https://github.com/SimonSchubert/LinuxCommandLibrary
Lastly, there’s the pro git book as well for anyone who wants to go even deeper: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
A ton, like the ones integrated in many editors/IDEs, GitHub Desktop, the one with the little turtle icon, forgot its name… Using gitk all the time. Don’t get me wrong I have nothing against a GUI, just saying I had a much better learning experience with git once I started using the CLI and man pages instead of a GUI and random tutorials for them. It’s just a lot more accessible and better documented in my experience.
Ah…so just the bad ones. Tortoisegit is God awful, stuck in 1999. GitHub desktop is barely a client. Etc
Of that set the only one worth any damn is the one build into vscode.
That having been said you just indicated you enjoy reading man pages for the git command line, something literally nobody enjoys. So maybe you are just a special ❄️.
If it works don’t fix it. Not that it’s my go-to.
I have indicated that I do it, not that I enjoy it. But yeah, I prefer it to skimming 20 verbose blog posts and outdated Stackoverflow questions to find one that is actually related to my specific use case. And often enough the search results will be online versions of the man pages anyway. Not quite sure why you are so hostile about it, I just said “read the docs” basically.
