He everyone, I learned today that I need to learn Git within the next week well enough that I could teach it to a couple of co-workers. What would be the best resource out there to learn git in a couple of days?
Hello, david.
On the fCC GitHub Docs side, there are many resources. Many pertaining to Git:
Hope these help.
Don’t get bogged down in all the fancy commands. On average I use a handful at work. When you use GitHub, Bitbucket, … they have cheat sheets when you create new repos. It will show you the commands to connect your project to the repository. Don’t memorize but learn the concept and then be able to Google what you need to do.
Know how to create a repository, connect your project to the repo, add, commit, and push changes.
Once you know the basics you can deal with other issues that will arise like making a new branch, deleting a branch, dealing with merge conflicts. Most of this I just Google when it happens to me.
Some people at my last job used SourceTree a free app for visually using version control. I think a basic understanding on the command line is a good thing!
