Site author here. I welcome all feedback on the site!

[There's more I'd love to write, but I found I was losing motivation to work on it in my Copious Spare Time(tm), so I thought I'd try promoting it -- knowing that others are paying attention to it will help me keep mine focused on it too.]

I tried to learn git a few times and could never quite grok it. I think I just suck at learning by reading. I mean, I was able to do basic (non-branching) source control by just following simple tutorials, but I never understood what was going on. Then I ran across "A Visual Git Reference". Changed my life.
