Sorry if this is not the appropriate forum for the question. How long does it take to get used to using git? I have never used a version control system and I don’t want to go through the pain much longer. Thanks in advance.

Well I came from a basic experience with Subversion but it only took me about a week to get a handle on the basic pull-change-commit-push cycle. You might also want to look at the git website for documentation and tutorials.

Most of us learned it with a background in subversion or some other SCM, and while there are lots of similarities, there are subtle differences which can trip you up. Along with the other resources there’s the git community book [http://book.git-scm.com/](http://book.git-scm.com/) And Scott Chacon’s pro-git book from Apress which is also available on-line as soft copy > **[Accueil](https://progit.org)** > > Le magazine vous livre gratuitement le meilleur de l'actualité, des conseils et astuces, des informations générales, des articles sur l'actualité régionale, etc. I’ve found Scott to be one of the best explainers of Git. – Rick DeNatale Blog: [http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/](http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/) Twitter: [http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale](http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale) WWR: [http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale](http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale) LinkedIn: [Rick DeNatale - Developer - IBM | LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale) – You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “Ruby on Rails: Talk” group.
