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,

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.
