 I know $12 USD is a lot of money for some people, so to celebrate 1000+ sales (!!!), I'm giving away 1000 PDF copies of How Git Works (honour system: only if $12 is a lot of money for you!) Here's the link, enter code BUYONEGIVEONE at checkout to get a free copy https://wizardzines.com/zines/git/ (it'll ask you for a billing address but you can enter a fake address if you'd prefer) 25 comments
I have a rule in general for zine launches that for every 1 zine we sell, we give away approximately 1 zine to someone who would have trouble affording it otherwise with code BUYONEGIVEONE been doing this since 2018 and we've given away at least 34,000 zines. (I don't have the exact number right now)    @b0rk You are a great person Julia! $12 would be something like βΉ1000 in India. Which a lot even for relatively well off families to sped on a book. Thank you so much for being so awesome!   @efi very little focus on obscure git features (we don't even talk about worktree or bisect, let alone send-email) a lot of focus on somewhat obscure details of git's core model of how branches work (like all of the different ways you can lose commits with --amend, stash, detached HEAD state, etc) @b0rk ok, then I'll pass and just recommend it to friends when relevant πΎπ  @b0rk I've enjoyed the git posters you have shared and this awesome gesture got me buy a print zine. It'll be awesome to have a physical reference especially since my git-fu is severely weakening since magit is an excellent interface.  thank you so much! I am currently jobless but literally a couple days before you released it I decided to get better at Git - then you release this within days of me deciding that. Once I'm employed again, there are a number of other ones that look *very* interesting. :> Edit: I am a *nix admin and Python dev with extensive experience in Animation, if anyone reading this is hiring. I can also drive semi trucks. @b0rk the discover of the discount for Brazil was a game changer for me. Itβs now possible to contribute and take advantage of all that you provide with your work. Thank you!  @b0rk any chance instead of getting one for myself, I could get a copy donated to a public library? @b0rk Thank you so much ;; I'm a broke bootcamp student now and this'll be a nice resource |
