I agree that git's user interface is messy and convoluted. Have you seen Easy Git, which reorganizes the commands a bit and provides simpler man pages: http://people.gnome.org/~newren/eg/ (I've not used it, but it seems like a good idea). Git's documentation is definitely written as a reference for experts of Git. But in addition to Easy Git, there's also some pretty great tutorials out there and GitHub has written some very simple references too. We moved to Git (and GitHub) because we thought it would be easier for more people to get involved in contributing to Dabo. In my opinion GitHub makes it extremely easy to learn Git. But I'll give it time. I was very enthusiastic about Subversion nine years ago, too. ;) Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected]
