Nice cast, I love GIT, but it can be tough to learn.
Anyway, I wanted to ask about your background image? That wood is sharp… any chance you could let us know where to grab that?
It’s a great image; you can get it here: http://zyklophon.deviantart.com/art/Hardwood-w-Lights-66313387.
Great stuff! Thanks Andrew
Looks great, gonna watch this later today.
What I’ve watched so far is great, but I got stuck: after git commit, you type the comment and say “close the editor”. How? I only know as much command line as I learned in your ebook, so I’m trying to figure it out-wish you were more specific. Thanks.
Eric,
The text editor used in most UNIX based command line tools is called VI, or VIM (VI improved). There are endless tutorials and resources available to help you learn it. To exit VIM, Andrew just typed ‘:wq’, that’s colon – w – q. The ‘w’ is to Write the file, and the ‘q’ is to quit the editor.
