Git Basics

Start learning Git

Overview

This site includes a collection of modules that attempt to cover the basics of the version control system git. Each module is a self-contained lesson on a particular topic. This site does not attempt to be exhaustive in its content, however in my experience the content presented covers about 90% of the situations you are likely to encounter. After completing these modules and learning the command-line syntax you can expect to be able to use git in your projects with intermediate proficiency.

All the best,

- Joe

How to Use this Site

The site is composed of modules on various topics. Each module is self-contained and intended as tutorial, meaning it is important to follow along with the examples on your local machine to ensure you are understanding the material and to start building your command line proficiency.

If you have never used git before, begin by reviewing the modules in order starting with Getting Started and ending with Fixing Common Mistakes. These modules will provide you a solid foundation to understand the concepts behind version control and the git syntax.

If you have used git before in the past or after you have completed the introductory modules and are looking for more information skip ahead to the modules you find the most interesting or the most useful, there is no need to complete these additional topics in any particular order.

Finally, if you do not see any information on a topic that is of interest to you, feel free to request it.
