Am I supposed to deduce this is popular cos no1 has written such a direct guide before? Cos there's 100s of them — mine's somehow optimised?https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/926489531112742915 …

Personally I like to see new takes on complex things - there's always more to learn, plus I know you and value your experience.

The inverse question is - why write it if there were loads of good guides already?

This is exactly my justification for sharing with my lab. Even sci-relevant guides written as if by programmers.

Glad it was useful although I am a programmer, I just imagined what it'd be like not to know git.

Most ppl who are expert at something are very bad at imagining what it's like to not be expert. It's a rare skill that makes a great teacher

Yeah, it's taken me a v long time to get there AND Brad actually helped during my presentation a lot to take it back down to newbie level.

After that, it was obvious what to include. I also had the chance to teach him the basics of git a year or so ago.
