This tutorial, then, will take a conceptual approach to Git. My
goal will be, first and foremost, to explain the Git universe and its
objectives, and secondarily to illustrate how to use Git commands to
manipulate that universe.
Understanding Git
Conceptually
I came across this wonderful explanation of git. Reading through that helped clear
up some aspects of git and I found myself merging and clearing
out a bunch of dead branches of my greylist daemon.
I then kept going, and decided to clean up the code a bit, by changing
every occurance of “gray” to “grey” (yes, I can be a bit anal
at times).
Which is a way to announce, the latest version of the greylist daemon (the “From Gray Skies to Grey Skies” version if you must
know).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its
owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
