gitHub may have excellent startup documentation, but that startup documentation describes git in programming terms mainly using *nx commands. If you have never had to use a version control system (e.g. if you do not write code, especially in a shared environment), "clone" "push" "pull" are very poorly described. The documentation is all in terms of *nx commands. Honestly, anything where this is in the documentation: On Windows systems, Git looks for the |.gitconfig| file in the |$HOME| directory (|%USERPROFILE%| in Windows’ environment), which is |C:\Documents and Settings\$USER| or |C:\Users\$USER| for most people, depending on version (|$USER| is |%USERNAME%| in Windows’ environment). is not going to work for anyone who doesn't work in Windows at the command line. No, git is NOT for non-coders. kc On 2/16/13 4:25 AM, Sharp, Chris wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Karen Coyle" <[log in to unmask]> >> To: [log in to unmask] >> Sent: Friday, February 15, 2013 6:38:53 PM >> Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] thanks and poetry >> (github unfortunately would be a barrier to many) > GitHub fortunately has excellent startup documentation for new users: > > https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git > > I recommend GitHub as an entry point to using git (or to "coding" for that matter). > > Hope that's helpful, > > Chris > -- Karen Coyle [log in to unmask] http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
