This is another useful resource for the basics of git, is an easy to follow walk though of the basic commands http://gitimmersion.com/ On Sun, Feb 20, 2011 at 3:10 AM, Eric Schaefer < eric.schaefer@eas-consulting.de> wrote:
Hi Nancy, Hi list,
the biggest problem with using git is understanding its principles, which are quite different from cvs or svn or any other centralized SCM. The git parable (http://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html) explains step by step what git does and why.
The msysgit git-shell is actually pretty good. It has all the features the bash-shell has in Linux/MacOS. E.g. command completion: if you want to switch branches you would type 'git checkout otherbranch', but if you just type 'git checkout othe<TAB>' it expands 'othe' to 'otherbranch' (if non ambiguous).
HTH, Eric
