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:

  1. https://ohmygit.org/ (a computer application)
  2. 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:

  1. https://github.com/vishal2376/git-coach (an android application covering the very very basics)
  2. 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:

  1. https://jdsalaro.com/tutorial/git/index.html (this person is here on lemmy too)
  2. https://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html
  3. https://missing.csail.mit.edu/
  4. https://docs.codeberg.org/git/clone-commit-via-cli/
  5. 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

    Tortoisegit is God awful, stuck in 1999.

    If it works don’t fix it. Not that it’s my go-to.

    you just indicated you enjoy reading man pages

    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 But yeah, I prefer it to skimming 20 verbose blog posts and outdated Stackoverflow questions to find one that is actually related to my specific use case.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.
