Are you interested in learning how to use Git for the first time? (or almost the first time)

we're looking for Git beginners to give us feedback on a Git tutorial! The tutorial will be open source when it's released, so you'll be helping many future beginners! Sign up here: forms.gle/zgubUXvFZKRALefWA

(i realize my Mastodon followers are pretty unlikely to be total Git beginners, but I'm putting this out there anyway 🤞)

Google DocsFeedback on Git tutorialWe're looking for total Git beginners (or near-total beginners) to give feedback on a Git tutorial! Git is a tool for backing up and checkpointing your code (kind of like a save point in a video game!). We can't imagine writing code without it, but it can be really hard to get started with Git. We'll show you how to put your code into Git, so that you can easily back up your code, experiment with BIG CHANGES and undo them if they don't work by going back in time to a previous version of your project!

@menelion thanks, I really appreciate the offer! it's a bit complicated because it's going to be on the Git website and in the official Git docs (like git-scm.com/docs/gitdatamodel or `man gitdatamodel`), so any accessibility work would also need to apply to all those other pages. Would be interested to know about the official Git docs' accessibility though.

@b0rk It's accessible, yes. There are some nitpicks like no <h1>, but in general yes, it's accessible and readable. Because you said just "tutorial", my answer was broad enough. In the modern world many do tutorials either as videos, or, even if as text, pieces of code or commands are represented as images (don't ask why, it's beyond my understanding). Hence, as I always try to advocate for accessibility from beginning of any project (or as close to the beginning as I can), I just wanted to offer my help at this stage.
