A brief intro to git - for absolute beginners
I am trying to learn GitHub. There are many tutorials on YouTube. Which are relevant / accurate / recommended?
Recommend me an interactive git tutorial.
Complete github tutorial?
Github is just a git repository storage, nothing more.
What you need is a git tutorial as git is the version control system.
This one is free and quite nice.
More on reddit.comI wrote an article on git because it was one of the tools I didn't bother to learn for far too long, mostly because every time I tried, I found the resources were highly technical, not written for beginners, and as such, did a poor job of explaining the very basic function that git serves - saving stuff.
I came to the (wrong) conclusion that it was yet another tool in the endless list of crap that I had to learn to be a developer. It turns out, however, that it's one of the most important ones.
If you don't know git or have been struggling to understand it, I hope this intro lets you get over that initial hurdle - https://webtuu.com/blog/04/a-laymans-introduction-to-git
Feedback/comments on improvements or otherwise welcome!
UPDATE: This post was super well received, so I've written a follow-up post here - Git Basics - Branching, Merging & Pushing to Github
