Oh My Git! helps with this gittish software
It’s easy to feel like a super wizard class hacker once you learn a little programming. You’re writing wee apps, you’re scripting this and that, you’re surely mere days away from seeing the world in Matrixvision. And then you have to use version control software, and your dreams and confidence are crushed. Fortunately, helpful people have made a game to help teach the arcane workings of the Git distributed version control system. It turns commands into friendly cards, and each level uses an actual real Git repository. Is it helpful? I will confess, even the thought of Git as a game made me nervous. But I like the idea ofOh My Git!

God, even with a friendly little owl-squirrel mascot illustrating cards, it still horrifies me. I’ve only dabbled in programming juuust enough to bump into version control and nope. I did a few levels and felt the fear. But it does seem good! The idea is great! I’m very glad they made this! For people who are not me.
