"As a relatively new web developer, I think I have spent more time learning about tools and how to use them than I have coding. That might be an overstatement, but I do find myself spending tons of hours doing things to ensure the integrity of my work environment and processes. Based on a misspent youth as a COBOL/BAL programmer, I knew I needed a version control and repository system which quickly took me to Git."
"I've learned the bare minimums. I learned that there is a .git directory and that I can manage a .gitignore file. I can check status, do adds and commits and push to a GitHub repo. I have not yet found a need for branching. I think it's time for me to learn more, but most of the tutorials I've been through advance too quickly and cover ground that has no application for me."
A relatively new web developer reports spending more time learning tools than coding and investing hours to maintain work environment integrity. Prior experience with COBOL/BAL motivated adoption of Git for version control and repositories. Current Git knowledge covers .git, .gitignore, status, add, commit, and push to GitHub, but branching remains unused. Most available tutorials progress too quickly and cover irrelevant material for the current needs. The developer seeks free, approachable tutorials that explain the Git process clearly and wants recommendations for tools and user interfaces beyond the command line.
