Re: Learnin' some git. Was: RE: Is this the future of technical writing?

[John G <john -at- garisons -dot- com>]

Git is difficult. I use it to read and comment on scenarios and to
edit/approve text strings in the UI, and I quickly determined that I only
need a small subset of commands to do the things I need to do. But I have
to be very precise in how I do them. I have a cheat sheet that I follow
religiously.

Tech writers may not be the best audience to get feedback from on this
topic as they are, for the most part,  far from the mainstream of actual
Git users.

My 2Â,

JG
