I found it hard to write a to-the-point usage instruction for git. I use git daily, and even though I'm far from an expert, I find the basic usage trivial but I noticed that I find it hard to write scenarios for someone new to git, especially without going too deep too fast.. I have kept it limited, and pointed to GitHub documentation for more information. However, I think the current description should get someone started, but I don't think they demonstrate the power of git well, nor do they describe a good work-flow with git. I think it might be good if someone revises them. Mark -- Mark Rotteveel ___ Firebird-docs mailing list Firebird-docs@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-docs
