Create a separate tips section, maybe several to go in phases. These will be useful for presenting what to do with git without going into details about how. Useful for certain forms of presentation. This should especially connect with scientific stories.

Maybe this would make too many sections... but that's probably not bad.

Merging with points from #87:

  • how to best use git for research, if you already know some version control and don't want to go into the technical stuff
  • Leading question: "how does one apply this my work?"

rkdarst added a commit to rkdarst/git-intro that referenced this issue May 26, 2019
- The section was called "Start simple, later increase the level of
  complexity" but the name could be a bit better.
- This is not exactly coderefinery#76 (add a practical tips section) but related.
- I propose that this section be used for practical tips in the future

#164 should be re-done, after figuring out why the title didn't work.

  • Once you commit, it is very, very hard to really lose your code
  • Commit early and often
  • Always fully commit (or stash) before you do dangerous things, so that you know you are safe. Otherwise it can be hard to recover.
