Excursus

I would like to post more about Git, but, alas, at this I point, I am still too much of a n00b. I will be moving over to Git entirely this summer and will post more on this topic then. But for now, let me pass on this useful tidbit for fellow n00bs. If you have ruby installed on your machine (ruby comes preinstalled with Leaopard—OS X users, you are running Leopard, right?) there is a ruby gem for a git cheat sheet. To install run:

sudo gem install cheat

After the git cheat sheet gem is installed, simply run:

cheat git

(or better still pipe it through your favorite pager—mine is most—why settle for less?). It’s a useful addition to:

git help
