#2interesting idea, but a sample session output in the README would help the short-attention-span peop... brb.

#3I always thought the term githug was for when you take a dead old Google Code project you didn't write, and give it a new home on github.

#4I like that people are learning Git, but why are there so many tutorials for it?
The Git commands that are most useful 95% of the time just didn't seem that hard to learn, IMO. It's not worth wasting memory for the other 5% of the time because I'll probably need to check the man pages anyway.

I haven't had a chance to checkout Githug yet, but for me, as a former SVN user, the switch to Git was daunting. I can't really explain why, but wrapping my head around DVCS took an embarassingly long time.
For those that I point to Git now, especially those that are semi-technical, it's really useful to also point them to a nice intro. As with all new things, lowering any barrier to entry is usually a good thing.

#6hmm. I don't see much "interactive" about it. it just spits "Sorry, this solution is not quite right!" at me. WTF am I supposed to do?

When you run `githug` it will tell you what it expects you to do.
If you are unsure, you can type `githug hint` to get a hint.
The solution for the first level is `git init`
I hope this helps you on your way.

figured it out eventually. bad usability though.
Anyway, level 18 is incorrect. the CHUNK does indeed start on line 23, but the line changed is the line 26

#9I can't quite get past level 4:
"Set up your git name and email, this is important so that your commits can be identified"
I had already set these up in my global config, but I ran the following commands anyway: git config user.name "My Name"; git config user.email "my_name@myemail.com"
Looking at the code, it seems that the program is supposed to ask me for my name and email, but it never did.

Yep... I'm having the exact same problem.
