Hashar: I think your criticisms of git-review might be out of date. On my debian system, "sudo apt-get install git-review" was sufficient to install a version of git review which is adequate for all my needs (I have never noticed any of the "known issues" you mention). And "git review -s" is a

Hello, I would like to remind that I made this guide some time ago: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Petrb/Git_for_idiots It always quite sucked and still does, but I tried to slightly rewrite it now, so it should contain more accurate information. I would like to keep it as a super simple

Re: [Wikitech-l] Git for idiots

I am new to gerrit for mediawiki. It really took me a long time to make it work, while there is nothing wrong in the instructions. Sometimes I solved the problems I encountered by simple methods like restart, update. I feel less instruction manuals with more detailed information would help. Also,

Re: [Wikitech-l] Git for idiots

I think that it might be a good idea to add another tutorial for complete newbies. Note Mediawiki.org doesn't have a Git tutorial. There are tons of those on the web. Thanks to recent work (by Quim and others I think) we have three fairly rational pages,

Biggest disadvantage I see on the official documents is they don't contain the hypothetical situation when something is wrong, they are relying on the fact that everything is as it's supposed to be - perfect. That user has perfectly configured system, that user doesn't accidentally break

Hi, Long time ago when I started learning with git I decided to create a simple guide (basically I was just taking some notes of what is needed). I never thought that it could be useful to anyone so I never announced it anywhere. However I got some feedback to it, so I decided to inform you too.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Git for idiots

I was using these tutorials in past, and they were pretty complicated for me to understand git. I don't say it should be considered some official documentation, rather something what desperate people could use. Git/Workflow and such are written by people who already understand git - they don't

I guess the viewpoint and perspective from the more experienced users may be different. The veterans may start to take some knowledge for granted, as a given knowledge that they may thing people would already know. For example, the underlying concept of git commit is something that I now take for
