What is a good resource to learn modern git properly? I have been using git for 10 years and get around with a really small set of old commands.



Agreed with the other recommendation of Pro Git.

If you want to learn Git from the inside out, I wrote a two-parter that aims to explain Git from the inside out, focusing on the data-structure Git uses:

Finally, _if_ you have an O'Reilly subscription, I am currently writing Head First Git (first four chapters are in early release). If you are not familiar with the Head First series, its a rather unique format that involves using lot of pictures to explain ideas and traditionally the books move a lot slower than most technical books. Ideas/concepts are cemented using puzzles, quizzes, crosswords.

You can see a list of the existing ones here https://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Series-Books/b?ie=UTF8&nod...

Feel free to email me if you need any more resources—I have spent a lot of time teaching Git.


Pro Git is excellent: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2


Nothing has been more intuitive than this interactive online tutorial

You lean in 30 minutes more than you learn in hours of reading documentation and experimenting


Ah yes, modern git for people using modern c++ If your plain old git works fine for you, there is no need to go looking for modern git IMHO.
