Does anyone know a good resource for learning how to use Git properly? I've learned piecemeal over the last year, but still run into stupid conflicts when transferring a project between machines that often requires me to redownload the repo and then download the changes from the dev server before starting again.

I'm an independent shop, so I don't have any senior devs or corporate policies to refer to for best practices.

Thanks in advance!

    just remeber to push your changes daily.
    dev in branches, merge to master after you are done, and prune dead branches regularly.
    Also: git is very bad for binary files, so don't put them under version control.

    Use the CLI, yes the learning curve is steeper but you'll actually learn it rather than a UI based tool like Sourcetree or Tower. I'm only working on a very simple model but it's basiically branch early branch often.
