As per the question at tonight's meeting, here are some suggestions on
learning Git

Learning Material

   - View the video and material at
*http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html*<http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html>.
Follow through the examples in this, and all future, module text and
   perform them on your Cygwin environment. Without duplicating the examples
   for yourself you are unlikely to learn effectively.
   - Start reading the material at *http://www.newartisans.com
   /blog_assets/git.from.bottom.up.pdf*<http://www.newartisans.com/blog_assets/git.from.bottom.up.pdf>This
should be an ongoing activity and will explain some of the Git
   internals
   - Continue with
*http://learn.github.com/p/setup.html*<http://learn.github.com/p/setup.html>
   .
      - In order to clone a remote repository as per the examples. At the
      bash prompt run the following commands
      - A) export http_proxy=http://OCEANIA\\ <http://oceania%5c%5c/>
      <networkname>:<networkpassword>@proxy.anz:80 (e.g. http_proxy=
      http://OCEANIA\\clewsa:SecreatSaucey69@proxy.anz:80<http://OCEANIA%5C%5Cclewsa:SecreatSaucey69@proxy.anz/>
      )
      - B)  git clone
*http://github.com/alecclews/vcbuilding.git*<http://github.com/alecclews/vcbuilding.git>
        (you can of course use any valid git URL you want, I offer this an
      example you can use of you wish)
   - Continue with the modules
*http://learn.github.com/p/normal.html*<http://learn.github.com/p/normal.html>,
   *http://learn.github.com/p/branching.html*<http://learn.github.com/p/branching.html>,
   *http://learn.github.com/p/tagging.html*<http://learn.github.com/p/tagging.html>,
   *http://learn.github.com/p/log.html* <http://learn.github.com/p/log.html>,
   *http://learn.github.com/p/diff.html*<http://learn.github.com/p/diff.html>and
   *http://learn.github.com/p/undoing.html*<http://learn.github.com/p/undoing.html>
