I have personal experience of git, because I co-author papers with git users. I am not very technologically savvy, but my failure rate with git is close to 100%. Ie I can do the equivalent of 'pull' or 'push' but I fail at everything else with an incomprehensible error message. Maybe I just need practice (or more diligence), but I really don't understand git's underlying model, despite trying, and reading several tutorials. If anyone has a favourite "how to understand git" doc, do point me at it.
I'm tempted to point out that Linux named it "git" for a reason. :) Mercurial might be a better choice, especially for people familiar with darcs. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkz/sgQACgkQIn7hlCsL25WV7gCdF48m1hMxoQUc/NpW08zfye3P 7+sAnRy8ef3nImblBPGcXQPCzFWbdP2h =/Xf1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
