Personal story. I remember there was a time where "learning how to use git" was something I really wanted to do for a _long_ time but never committed to it. Running into this online tutorial, as limited as it may be, was the day I said "that's it, I'm gonna learn how to use git." I was successful. It was just enough of a push that I needed at the time.
- olivierlacan 12y agoThanks so much for sharing this. I wrote Try Git with a lot of help from my co-workers at Code School and Matthew McCullough from GitHub. Knowing it impacted just one person the way it impacted you makes me incredibly happy.
- shurcooL 12y agoHappy to share. Thank you for making it! I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this to John Britton at one of GitHub meetups. He played some part in making that from the GitHub side, as he does education stuff with them. That was about 3 years ago. Since then I've got a nice software engineering job in San Francisco, and I've been trying to make as many open source contributions in my free time as I can: https://github.com/shurcooL https://github.com/shurcooL 1,737 total in year of contributions (not counting private) hehe. Learning to use git was an eventual step of the journey, but your work certainly played a part in enabling all that, so thank you. :)
