- Aga 14y agoI have found the Pro Git book to be the best: http://git-scm.com/book http://git-scm.com/book That, and constantly creating your own test repositories to test new commands/concepts. With a distributed VCS it's easy and fast. Just run "git init test" somewhere and start committing! I also recommend you to use "gitk" when you're learning to constantly look at your history tree. That should clarify the concept "branches are pointers" after a few tests.

- duaneb 14y agoThanks, that's perfect. I don't as much care about the nitty gritty at the moment as a conceptual overview of the architecture of git.
