Thanks 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.

Happy 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. :)
