It's just that I took a look and noticed that most of\nquestions a related to GIT developpement. So I just want to be sure\nbefore posting any silly questions :)\n\n> marc.theaimsgroup.com , and GIT already has reasonable documentation,\n> including a tutorial and a few howtos, reachable at\n> http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/\n\nI did read that but unfortunately I'm still a rookie user...\n\nthanks\n--\n               Franck\n"},{"id":"11489","messageId":"12c511ca0511101027q44c51ca8h88229fd7188717d5@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"2425","inReplyTo":"cda58cb80511100017v12f8ec77v@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Where should I post questions on GIT usage ?","fromName":"Tony Luck","fromEmail":"tony.luck@intel.com","sentAt":"2005-11-10T18:27:39Z","receivedAt":"2005-11-10T18:27:39Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"tony.luck@intel.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5446021?v=4"},"body":"> I'm starting using GIT, and I'm having a couple of basic questions to\n> ask.
