Ask HN: What made you finally grok Git?

• dotfiles

  1 2 10.0 Shell

  My personal dotfiles repository (by aib)

  Being the go-to git guy for a whole project when everyone was new to it.

  Are you using it from the command line? I feel that helps a lot. Get a good log alias[1] and get hacking. I almost exclusively use the official CLI, with the exception of git-gui for committing and rolling back patches (lines / hunks). (I find it's easier than `add -p` and that CTRL+J is a good time saver.)
