#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks for your feedback! I completely understand your point. Maybe it would make sense to make another guide with an intro on Source Control Management systems and link it in the git guide. Currently, you need to have a little bit of knowledge on an SCM. But I will think about it.
Hmm, I'm not sure "having a little knowledge on an SCM" does the trick. Let's assume that I've used subversion for years (which surely is SCM). Therefore, for instance, I know that a repository is something on a server that can hold all relevant for my current team (we'll checkout a subdir for each of subproject). Also, I know that committing means sending a change to the server. I also know that I can lock a file an…
Yes, you might be right on this. I will think about it. If you have links where something like this can be found, i would appreciate it. Thanks!
Re: A simple guide for getting started with git
#23I don't get this. Sure, the tutorial looks very pretty, but it does not explain any concepts. "Create a new repository." What is a repository? What do I do with it? The HEAD is a tree "which points to the last commit you've made". Huh? A tree can point? The one in my garden can't. Also, what's a commit? I thought "commit" was a verb, not a noun. And so on. It's nice that people want to make something as complex as gi…
As someone who is used to SVN and Mercurial, I found this pretty useful. The author's going to have to decide what the intended audience is - people who have never used SCM, or people who are considering switching from another SCM (probably SVN).

I will, thanks!
Re: A simple guide for getting started with git
#25A 2-3 line "this is why git is useful" at the top would be probably be helpful. I'm forwarding this my friends who are yet to be using version control. Good stuff.
Thanks, I'll take this into account for an update!

#26Please could you fix pagination so that page down works correctly? (Other sites that use the same format have it working)
I don't understand; you want page down to go to the next "block"? That would be neat. I'm asking because pagedown seems to "work" as expected on my browser (scrolls down one viewport-height).
Re: A simple guide for getting started with git
#27It so happens that I started using git just 2 days ago. Reading the git help was pretty useful, but I didn't want to spend a week reading pro git(the ebook). This tutorial is pretty useful to get someone quickly up and running, and certainly a better alternative than spending my time learning git (not that I won't study the details as I go along) rather than the actual project.

#28I have found gitimmersion (1) to be really useful for beginners.
Re: A simple guide for getting started with git
#29Using gitx ( http://gitx.frim.nl/ ) really helped me grasp some of the concepts you talk about.

Yes, next block. (If I remember which other sites do this resolution independently, I'll update my post)
