01:27 MTDiscord <mark.wiemer> Git took me a loooong time to click, like 5 years, but I was a teenager when I started using it so it's hard to say. The Git book at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 is a good reference, but don't expect to understand it first read.  GitHub terms and Git terms are mostly the same, except GitHub uses the concept of a "fork" and adds "pull requests", documented in chapter 5.2:
01:27 MTDiscord https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Contributing-to-a-Project  I learned through a lot of practice, but happy to answer questions here or 1:1 (to not flood this gc)
01:38 MTDiscord <warr1024> If you learn how to use one piece of computer technology, learn git.  If you learn two, then learn git, and maybe a keyboard or something.
02:15 MTDiscord <fyl2xp1> Thanks that github-link looks like the missing … uh … link
02:49 MTDiscord <mark.wiemer> https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 and https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Contributing-to-a-Project are the two links I sent
03:57 MTDiscord <fyl2xp1> Sorry, I was referring to the second one which is "Github-specific"
04:34 MTDiscord <mark.wiemer> Oh, "the missing link" lol I thought you said "missing a link" hahaha my bad!
