Getting started with Git using SourceTree - Part 1: Version control

This video series teaches you Git version control without having to use the command line. As an interface, we use SourceTree from Atlassian and KDiff3 by Joachim Eibl.

Download links:

If you follow these instructions, you can have Git set up, and have a basic working knowledge of how to use it, in less than an hour. This is covered in the first 5 topics.
After getting comfortable with the basics, you can spend another hour to learn a little more advanced things, getting you ready for working in different real-life collaboration settings.

You obviously put a lot of effort into preparing and scripting the videos. The content is concise and easy to follow. This is a beautiful example of how to create tutorial videos! Thank you!

I want to second everything earlier posters have said. I have been using Sourcetree for several years, and always struggled with merging conflicts. Your video #4 did a spectacular job of describing the process. Thanks for an enormously clear series of videos. The next time I introduce a novice to Git, this is the video series I will recommend.

Does most of the things in this tutorial series stand to this day, at least in term of principles to follow with version control?

[miklosbence]

Appearantly there are at least 2 different apps called SourceTree. Mine does not even look like this one.
