Hello friends!

Lately I was challenged and given an assignment to consume some source code hosted on GitHub and contribute to it by performing few given tasks. I, being pretty new to Git spent few hours over internet and trying to figure out how does this thing work. I had no prior knowledge on it and given the fact that of my past experience has been on Microsoft technologies I was actually little scared. 🙂

But, let me tell you, i felt much better when i completed that challenge. Although I must admit that despite being a simple challenge it was still daunting to me.

Anyways, I felt that it would be kind of nice to share my experience and may be help others to understand about git.

What is Git?

Git is an open source project that has a great community support and a solid user base. If you are an open source developer then Git is probably a first class requirement for you…
