Where should I post questions on GIT usage ?

Where should I post questions on GIT usage ?

[Franck]

Hi,

I'm starting using GIT, and I'm having a couple of basic questions to
ask. Is it the correct place to post them or is there any other
mailing list related to GIT usage ?

Thanks

Hi Franck,

I think you'll be fine posting here ;-) Everyone's been patient with
me so far. OTOH, the list has a good search facility at
marc.theaimsgroup.com , and GIT already has reasonable documentation,
including a tutorial and a few howtos, reachable at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/

regards,


martin

I think so. It's just that I took a look and noticed that most of
questions a related to GIT developpement. So I just want to be sure
before posting any silly questions :)

Read Documentattion/tutorial.txt (and any relevent Documentation/howto/* files).

Search the archives.

If you still have problems, then the best format for questions here seems
to be:

1) I was trying to do ... insert high level description here.

2) So I executed these git commands ...

3) And what happened was ...

Skipping step 1 can cause delays while people answer questions about
the specific micro-problems you had with the commands in step 2, when
the real answer is to use some totally different command.
