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

    Probably the worst way to learn git is “as-you-go” in an actual project. Unfortunately that’s a common way to start, that’s definitely how I started. If I had to learn it again or teach it to somebody else, I’d make a super simple application, like a “Hello World” webpage, and learn and gain confidence with that.

      Indeed, I think my next step is to make a test repo on codeberg and play around before using git more seriously

      Ohh that’d be a fun thing to do in the future

      Vim seems powerful, might learn it better one day

      Just use a UI like vscode or git kraken

      Knowing “how to use” the git command line is an exercise in delusion. You will only know the same small piece the UI tools know and if you get in trouble you’re going to stack overflow.
