Git — reference material
Placeholder. This folder will hold a self-paced primer on Git: the tool that lets you save versions of your project, undo changes safely, and try out ideas without losing what already works.
Planned topics (rough sketch — order subject to change):
- What a repository is and why you'd want one
git init,git status,git add,git commit— the daily loop- Looking at history:
git log,git diff - Undoing things:
git restore,git revert, and when not to usegit reset --hard - Branches: trying something without breaking your working version
- Merging and the basics of resolving a conflict
- Ignoring files (
.gitignore)
When to dip in
Once your project has more than a handful of files, or once you've lost work to an editor crash. Until then, you can probably get by with "save often."
Installing
Will be filled in. Short version: most operating systems either have it or make it a one-line install.
