Is it the correct place to post them or is there any other mailing list related to GIT usage ? Thanks -- Franck ``` ## Martin Langhoff, 2005-11-10 10:06 Subject: Re: Where should I post questions on GIT usage ?

OTOH, the list has a good search facility at marc.theaimsgroup.com , and GIT already has reasonable documentation, including a tutorial and a few howtos, reachable at http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/ regards, martin ``` ## Franck, 2005-11-10 15:39 Subject: Re: Where should I post questions on GIT usage ?

I think so. It's just that I took a look and noticed that most of questions a related to GIT developpement. So I just want to be sure before posting any silly questions :) > marc.theaimsgroup.com , and GIT already has reasonable documentation, > including a tutorial and a few howtos, reachable at > http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/ I did read that but unfortunately I'm still a rookie user... thanks -- Franck ``` ## Tony Luck, 2005-11-10 18:27 Subject: Re: Where should I post questions on GIT usage ?

If you still have problems, then the best format for questions here seems to be: 1) I was trying to do ... insert high level description here. 2) So I executed these git commands ... 3) And what happened was ... Skipping step 1 can cause delays while people answer questions about the specific micro-problems you had with the commands in step 2, when the real answer is to use some totally different command. -Tony (far more frequently an asker-of-questions than an answerer) ```
