Generally, the best way to learn git is probably to first only do very basic things and not even look at some of the things you can do until you are familiar and confident about the basics.

More quotes by Linus Torvalds
If it is relevant there is always somebody else out there.
Linus Torvalds
I try to avoid long-range plans and visions - that way I can more easily deal with anything new that comes up without having pre-conceptions of how I should deal with it. My only long-range plan has been and still is just the very general plan of making Linux better.
Linus Torvalds
Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.
Linus Torvalds
What I find most interesting is how people really have taken Linux and used it in ways and attributes and motivations that I never felt.
Linus Torvalds
Linux has more than satisfied any small initial expectations I had. It's simply incredible how successful Linux has been, and how good a time I've had developing it and leading the project. It does take a lot of my time, but it's time I really enjoy spending, and Linux has continued to be challenging both technically and from a managing standpoint.
Linus Torvalds
Helsinki isn't all that bad. It's a very nice city, and it's cold really only in wintertime.
Linus Torvalds
I'm a technical manager, but I don't have to take care of people. I only have to worry about technology itself.
Linus Torvalds
I started Linux as a desktop operating system. And it's the only area where Linux hasn't completely taken over. That just annoys the hell out of me.
Linus Torvalds
I claim that Mach people (and apparently FreeBSD) are incompetent idiots.
Linus Torvalds
Turtles are very stable and have been around forever. But they have problems adapting. When humans came along, turtles came under serious threat. Biodiversity is good, and I think it is good in technology as well.
Linus Torvalds
You won't get sued for anticompetitive behavior.
Linus Torvalds
My name is Linus, and I am your God.
Linus Torvalds
When somebody who is different shows himself to be different in a good way, that's how development happens.
Linus Torvalds
Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.
Linus Torvalds
One of the reasons I like open source is that it allows people to work on the parts they are good at, and I don't mean just on a technical level some people are into the whole selling and support, and that's just not me.
Linus Torvalds
The big thing about distributed source control is that it makes one of the main issues with SCM's go away - the politics around who can make changes. BitKeeper showed that you can avoid that by just giving everybody their own source repository.
Linus Torvalds
Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money. As such, I'm not very likely to make the same kind of money that Bill made.
Linus Torvalds
Shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software with the worst of free software.
Linus Torvalds
In open source, we feel strongly that to really do something well, you have to get a lot of people involved.
Linus Torvalds
The correct form factor for a laptop is obviously 12 and 2 lbs, and I don't understand why everybody gets that wrong.
