Currently tutorial.txt doesn't work like that--there are places where it just tells the user to edit a file, or make a few commits, without listing commands to do so. It also isn't linear. That could all be "fixed", but I think the result would just make it more tedious. But I agree that a "git tutorial" command to set up a canonical example repository might be fun. --b. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
