On the other hand, if you are shooting *really* for the absolute minimum set for the beginners, I would kill rm and possibly mv) in addition to your list: - git-rm is always easier to do with "rm -fr file-or-dir", followed by "git commit -a". Of course "git rm --cached" and partial commits that contain removal cannot be emulated easily this way, but this is an alternative suggestion to aim for *real* beginners who do not use the index. - git-mv is on my list for the same reason as "rm", but it is a bit more cumbersome if you want to move a directory, because "mv old new && git add new" would not work for people without a correctly set-up .gitignore (and if we are talking about beginners, we should expect user's .gitignore is borked). I have a bit of reservation about revert, but I'd imagine we could kill it, and also fetch, pull and push, if you are shooting for *real* beginners who work alone. I think the only valid justification to drop "revert" from the list is to assume that the audience do not interact with the outside world, and dropping fetch/pull/push from the list is in line with that. - 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
