That’s exactly the question I would search in google to get started. Then when another question pop up in my mind, I would also google it. Keep doing that until you start building a better mental model & before you know it, You are reading tutorials & getting started.

At least that how I do it.




I was teaching myself about Git today, and it's hilarious the Google threads I develop. "Git is a Distributed Concurrent Versions System." OK what's a "Distributed Concurrent Versions System"?
