github / learn.github.com Goto Github PK

As hinted at #28 the homepage on the live learn.github.com site is as below

But if you rake, the following is generated:

What you don't see on the second screenshot is the GitHub tutorial section, which for now are just stubs of article headers and descriptions.

Which landing page is correct-er on this site?

Like @jordanmccullough's effort to fold teach into training for easier discovery of learning content in one unified site, we should also collapse learn.github.com into training.github.com through a merge of as much content as we can to preserve authorship info, and then a 301 redirect to the training.github.com domain of an equivalent URL.

Sorry for this report here, but I don't know where exactly report this.

As you can see, I have a little typo on my dashboard.

Regards,

I don't see "next" link on log page. Is that right?

The learn.github.com content was brought from a separate learn account under the github account umbrella. The CNAME file is in place to route to this content, but a DNS entry is needed via the @github/ops team to have this content showing up once again.

It is fully realized that the index is an instant redirect to gitref.org, but the other content still has some links to it on the web that we don't want to break.

Found this page by Google searching git show signature github. It took a while before I realized that this page is not maintained anymore.

However, there's a typo in the generated HTML (the sharing tags section): the text –tags, or –tags, should be --tags.

It would be nice if you guys fix it, or, just delete that page.

Hi there, I would recommend making a few changes to your "Beginner" line of learning offerings in order to make it a real "Beginner" line of learning offerings, at least to change the initial presentation.

Like perhaps 90% of resources out there on git, your very first video, part one introduction to git that claims to explain "what git is" doesn't really do that but makes a lot of assumptions.

You assume:

1. The viewer already knows what versioning is, why it is in important, and what things like "commit" or "checkout" or other versioning terminology is.

2. You assume viewers know what SVN is, that they care whether or not git is smaller and faster, and how to use it. This is the problem with almost all the tutorials and introductions to git out there. It is like there is a massive insecurity complex (which given git's advantages, hardly seems necessary) on behalf of git developers that they seem to want to spent all their time on beginner introductions explaining how much cooler git is than SVN and other versioning solutions.

I recommend moving the initial presentation to a "Introduction to Git for Programmers Who Are Familiar with SVN or Versioning"

and then create a real introduction to git to begin your series.

Alternatively, you can open with a paragraph on the page and prior to the movies on the prerequisites for the beginner offerings, that is to say, familiarity with versioning and SVN.

Respectfully,

Konrad M. Lawson

The videos sitting pretty up top on Intro and Setup are no longer with us.

Sorry, this episode is no longer available.

Pour one out. 🍼

Should they just be removed or are there replacements?

I logged into the GitHub Google Analytics site, but it seems that http://learn.github.com/p/index.html URL tracking stopped around March 10th. The tracking code still looks correct to my untrained-eye, so I need some @github/cream team help.

  <script>
  var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
  document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
  var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-3769691-2");
  pageTracker._initData();
  pageTracker._trackPageview();
  </script>

The code above is what's in the page now.

This was brought up as a part of https://github.com/github/github-universe/issues/10#issuecomment-16253751

Among the links around the cogs on the homepage there isn't one to jump the user into "Introduction To Git".

Is that deliberate?
