man pages are horrible. I think git ( all version control, really ) would be conceptually easier to grasp with a visual representation.

- morganvachon 11y ago> man pages are horrible. Linux and GNU man pages can be horrible, yes. For great examples of not horrible man pages, look at OpenBSD. Their documentation is second to none. You can take what you learn by playing around with OpenBSD and apply it to just about any other UNIX-like OS.
