Introduction

The Guided Git Tutorial is an invaluable resource for learning how to effectively use git. This chapter is simliar and draws from this tutorial in many ways. However, the focus here is to provide a more step by step explanation of how to use the pieces of git that are important for computational linguists to know how to use.

Yue Chen and I have also prepared other materials to assist with learning git as well. Namely the presentation in the sidebar of this page. In addition, I have a git repository that walks you through many of the topics discussed in this chapter.
