The article at [1] is an official document, while the "unkempt guide" is not official. The unkempt guide starts by deferring to [1]. I didn't think the official document should point to my unofficial one, and/or we should create a loop of links. That said, if someone else updates [1] with a pointer, I won't protest. That's just something that I (having authored the unkempt guide) would not propose myself. I do agree that the wiki search facilities on github are basic. What has mostly worked for me is clicking the Pages arrow, and then entering a *very simple* search term in the drop-down search box. For example, if I do that now, and only enter "git", then the "unkempt guide" is listed (with other hits of course). I think this search box is basically for searching article titles. > > There are a lot folks who use git but don't use the email based review so > they have never setup git with emali before.

It's great that you have access to such infrastructure at Apple! Thanks!
