Very nice read. That also leads me to mention that Github, as good as it is in 'social' coding or whatever that means, does not fill a gap for a proper resource on how to use Git. Not that it should and it clearly doesn't carry that mandate, but there is hefty amount of respect to be made for any group that de-mystifies git in all it's glory. Hell, there are plenty of comments here, on groups and proggit from users that lose their hair over advanced use of git. In my opinion advanced consulting services and migration planning for currently SVN,CVS engaged companies would be nice.

One of the guys on the early team wrote pro git which he then open sourced and gave away free. That book is pretty good at demystifying git.

  I'm having trouble determining whether you are serious, but I suspect the original poster was referring to reddit's programming community.

    I'm suggesting that's a better place to learn about git not to mention being created by one of the Github guys.

      Okay since I'm just getting driveby downvotes, let me explain the source of my comment. The original comment said: > That also leads me to mention that Github, as good as it is in 'social' coding or whatever that means, does not fill a gap for a proper resource on how to use Git. Well, Scott Chacon (#4 githubber I believe?) wrote the book to demystify Git. Of course, there is a certain irreducible complexity there, but I think Github has made a significant contribution there, so I don't think it's fair to level this criticism at them out of passing unfamiliarity.
