A list of useful git resources + cheat sheet

I’ve been collecting a list of usefull resources to learn, and better use, git. And I thought I would share it with you. I also created a cheat sheet with the commands I use the most. I keep both the list and the cheat sheet in a github repository – feel free to add to them if you know about some good resources that I havn’t mentioned here.

I will try to keep this blogpost up to date, but you can always find the newest version on github.
