I read lots of tutorials on Git when I started with it just a few years ago, and that's the one that best helped me grok it.
- pablasso 10y agoThis is about how Git works internally, not a usage tutorial.
- kyrias 10y agoAnd people not knowing how Git actually works is in my experience where most people's problems with Git stems from.
- josteink 10y agoAm I the only one who read the "official" Git ebook and found that perfectly understandable? https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
- no_protocol 10y agoYou're not. It's really good. Comprehensive and clear. I wish more projects had an 'official' reference that was as good as git's.
- pkd 10y agoNope. Pro Git is an excellent book and resource on Git. It's completely worth reading it for its Git Objects chapter alone.
- circadian 10y agoNope, it's awesome and this same topic is clearly covered under the plumbing and porcelain section: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Plumbing-and-Porcelain https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Plumbing-and-Po...
- AceJohnny2 10y agoYes, the book is excellent and also recommended :) But for me, having an understanding of git's internals really helped provide a foundation for the rest. Otherwise a lot of the stuff (like rebases, or amend commits...) were just black magic.
