Git-cheater
2 points by jtreml 5201 days ago
Hi,

I've been using git for a while now, and while I honestly think it is the work of a genius and love the flexibility it gives you, as well as the tools others have built on top (e.g. delpoy via git on Amazon or Heroku, git-ftp for websites, ...) it has one big flaw that makes it pure horror for people (especially those working with CVS, etc. before) to learn and use it: Command naming is really bad and in lots of places inconsistent and confusing at best for beginners.

I know there are quite a few cheat sheets out there, but I needed something a bit more structured and with less non-essential information. So I made http://gitcheater.com/

I posting this here because a) I think this might help other people as well, not just me and b) I appreciate your help, pointing out mistakes and important things missing on the site.

Of course the whole things is hosted on github, so feel free to fork, clone and use it as you wish.

Great, how about a downloadable PDF? Thanks for putting the time to do this.
I actually have plans to do sth. similar: Use CSS media queries to get a nice printable version (which of course could be used to generate a PDF then). Just haven't found the time to do it yet.
Excellent - looking forward to it. For those that are looking for other cheatsheets (and maybe you could get yours listed): http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/
