That said, a few more comments:
- if you're going to go to all this effort, please eliminate the "git
on windows" section -- for each portion of the (unix-aimed) docs, just
dump the relevant windows instructions on the bottom of the page.
Actually, most of the instructions under Git on Windows apply
equally well to Git on Unix. The descriptions of gitk and
git gui are not Windows-specific, but apply equally well to
all flavours of Unix. It would be better if these were included
in a section called something like "Graphical interfaces to git".
I for one prefer them for many operations, even though I am
relatively familiar with Unix command line. Git gui makes it
immediately clear what the current branch is, what files have
been modified and how, etc.
It is not possible simply to dump Windows instructions at the
bottom of the page because they are identical in the git
bash shell to the commands already given. The difference when
using a graphical interface is in the way commands are entered.
I would favour having a section after each set of Unix bash instructions
detailing the equivalent GUI commands, rather than replacing the Windows
users section with the GUI one.
Though you might need a very short section outlining git gui and gitk
near the top of chapter.
Cheers,
Ian
