I just got done reading the “Plumbing” section of your git tutorial and I was pretty impressed with it. Definitely one of the best git tutorials I’ve read and I will be checking out the other sections shortly.

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say THANK YOU! for the Git tutorial. I’d read a few others that didn’t all make sense to me, and I absolutely loved how you made this tutorial so simple and easy to follow. Thanks!

My programming career was for about 12 years starting in 1992 but since then most of my work has been on the management or consulting side. Recently I decided to get my hands dirty again, so to speak, with the OpenWRT project and needed to learn Git to become involved. Your tutorial was perfect.
