Yes thank you , although a screen cast would still be ideal , the

Hi Michael,
I think you're trying to hide the complexity of git. The problem with
graphical tools is that they hide complexity from the user, which in
some cases is only possibly/good if the user has understood the
underlying principles already. Also I think that there are many things
which can be done much quicker using a command-line than any gui (as all
of the people here will agree). Git is not Time-Machine (this thing from
Apple). It is also no good idea to try to view git from a svn's point of
view, or try to compare commands. It took me a while to get over that
and accept that git is different. I was frustated (and still am
sometimes) but i finally understood the whole concept.
About screencasts: I haven't watched that many screencasts in general,
but I can hardly imagine that they are better way of teaching things
than reading a manual. Watching someone type in commands, hitting
"Pause", then trying it myself doesn't seem more intuitive to me than
just reading a manual and typing the commands given in regular
intervals. Maybe someone can enlighten me about the use of screencasts
(in a command-line environment).
Greetings,
Jojo
I don't know , maybe I learn differently , but
