Imagine a young explorer who's just heard that word, "git". But it actually means an entire world. How is this young explorer supposed to dive into this mysterious world with just a machine in hand ?

He's got vs code though !! And he's also got fish and zsh on WSL !

Hello Frost, l need to play with git in order to understand how it works. The picture that l have put up is random. Posting a picture creates a link on piefed, which enables crossposting, hence putting up an image.

Nice to see your reply after quite sometime.

Right now l wish to toy with vs code. I've downloaded one yesterday. I'm not familiar with this this tool yet. It can be used used independently on windows 10, but I wish to use it on WSL.

Can you suggest me some introductory course/tutorial ?

uuuhh..? I got no idea how to use VS Code, I don't use VS Code. I'm more a Kate wolf myself. (And vim, but vim is weird and clunky at first and would probably just be frustrating.)

*shoots piefed a very confused look*

Unless you meant a tutorial on git, in which case, the learngitbranching.js.org one is great.
