Hello everyone,

I've been given the task to prepare an introduction on Git for my
company, as lots of people are interested by Git, and I'm one of the
most advanced user, as I started using git about 2 or 3 weeks ago...
Due to my lack of experience, and not wanting to taught wrong things,
I'm looking for one or more good french git user/developper to give a
quick look to my slides, and tell me if I went wrong somewhere.

Thanks in advance

Nicolas Morey-Chaisemartin

I'll probably need to do the same here (Montréal, Qc), so if you can  
share your slides (or else), that would be nice.

Merci ! (thanks),

slides only (done).
it's up to him to share his work or not.

I'd gladly share it, I just have to check my company policy.
I asked my boss tonight so I'll get an answer by tomorrow and post it on
a ftp somewhere, if I can share it

I have no knowledge of French, but on page 15 the command
"git-commit --append" is mentioned. There is no "--append"
option. I'm guessing the "--amend" option is meant instead.

Also, the very next command is "git-revert COMIT_ID".
"COMIT_ID" should probably have an extra "M".

Finally, on page 11, you say something about "git foo" vs.
"git-foo" (hopefully that the "git-foo" form is deprecated),
but in the rest of the presentation you use a mix of "git foo"
and "git-foo" (mostly "git-foo"). This seems inconsistent.


Have fun! :)

Thanks, good catch.
Yes I say in french that git-foo is deprecated.
However I'm still using it in the following slides because people have
directly the good command to look at the man.
I know it's not really consistent but asI'd rahter keep it that way and
insist while presenting it, it should only be used for man pages.

I added your vchanged and updated the pdf.

Thanks

Nicolas

The man pages are also accessible _without_ using the "git-foo" form, 
either by doing "git foo --help" or "git help foo". I'd suggest using 
the "git foo" form, and using "git help foo" instead of "man git-foo".


Have fun! :)

Depending on the audience, one might want to mention that if you
are using a modern version of zsh as your shell and have activated
its run-help function (see
http://zsh.dotsrc.org/Doc/Release/zsh_24.html#SEC218), you can just
say

git foo -bar <M-h>

and you'll get git-foo manual page.  When you exit man, you'll get
your command line back just like it was when you hit M-h.  I think
it handles even "echo dum ; git foo <M-h>" kind of cases.  You
can't live without it once you have tried it.  Or the completion
with descriptions for options etc.

Johan,

You said that the form git-<cmd> version is deprecated. That's true. But
in the suit of the document you use only git-<cmd>. This is not working
anymore with recent Git version. I would recommend using only the "git
<cmd>" form.

Pascal.

Nicolas,

There is also at least two commands that I used often that are missing
to me:

   $ git checkout -b branch_name branch_point

Which is equivalent to:

   $ git branch branch_name branch_point
   $ git checkout branch_name

The other missing command is:

   $ git add [-p|-i]

Very important to create a set tightly related commits out of a dirty tree.

Maybe also adding a note about aliases:

   $ git config --global alias.co checkout

Pascal.

Any idea if this also accessible, or is possible to add, in bash?

I don't have it but I already feel I can't live without it.
