Really cool git resource #14

Closed minaorangina closed 8 years ago

minaorangina commented 8 years ago

I want to recommend this free Git/GitHub course on Udacity. I started this wayyyy back in May and forgot about it, got back round to it a couple of weeks ago and found it super, super useful, literally learnt so much.

It explains the differences between Git and GitHub clearly, using the staging area properly, using git diff properly to find your bugs. And it explains it clearly. Plus it teaches you by getting you to try Git for yourself on your machine.

(Basically it's amazing.)

I feel like doing this before starting the course will possibly eliminate the OMG-WHAT-IS-THIS-GIT-THING rite of passage for new students :wink:

@minaorangina If it's that good and also good at an introductory resource, would you say it deserves a place above codecamedy? I found that one was ok for learning commands but lacked much of the useful context you're describing (and we all know the first one on the list is the most likely one to get done!) 🙃

@iteles I'd say so, I feel the Udacity course conveys Git's usefulness properly, whereas Codecademy's a bit notorious for feeling like an island cut off from the real coding world. Shall I swap them round?

Perfect! :+1:
