I really like elxir the language, but find myself strangely hamstrung by the _mix_ tool. There is only an introduction to the tool, but not a reference to all the bells and whistles of the tool. I'm not looking for extra bells and whistles, but simple stuff like pulling in a module from GitHub and incorporate it. Is there such documentation? How do you crack Mix?

The docs for Mix are decent. You can start here: https://hexdocs.pm/mix https://hexdocs.pm/mix. When you are trying to get help w/ a specific task, you check checkout the mix tasks docs: https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Deps.Get.html#content https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Deps.Get.html#content And honestly, I often just look at the source code: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/tree/master/lib/mix https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/tree/master/lib/mix The Elixir Slack channel is pretty amazing, too: https://elixir-slackin.herokuapp.com/ https://elixir-slackin.herokuapp.com/
