Here are just some of the URLs I used to get started with Git, both from an end-user point of view, and as a sysadmin to manage all of it. I hope you find them as useful as I did.

  • Pro Git: excellent online book, that explains the very basics and very advanced stuff in Git. Should be your first stop.
  • 8 ways to share your git repository: explains some of the methods of setting up your git repositories, with the pro’s and cons.
  • How to set up git over http: a plain text write-up on the steps involved in setting up your git repo over http.
  • *Edit* git ready: a tip by Serge, a great site for beginning git users.

After your default setup, here are some useful tools to get the most out of Git.

Enjoy, and make sure you share your valuable git links!
