An introduction to git, and a place to practice pushing code!
##Contents
The tutorials are split into three pages:
- An overview of git: What is it? Why use it?
- Getting started: Initial steps before you start.
- Working with git: How to push code!
(These instructions often asssume you're on a Mac, or using a unix shell)
##Resources
Some of these instructions get pretty technical, but I tried to limit the tutorial to what you need to get started on projects here at Urban. There are some other fantastic, more broad git tutorials and resources out there:
- This interactive tutorial gives you a simulated bash shell (i.e. the Terminal on a Mac, the Command Prompt in Windows) to type commands, and walks you through a lot of git fundamentals.
- Git immersion is a longer tutorial, with tons of information.
- Once you're in the swing of things with git, you might want to print out this git cheat sheet and put it on your wall. Way helpful.
- Many more great tutorials (including those listed above) can be found in this article from the folks at github.com
