Git Tutorial (Beginner): Using GitLab & Source Tree

Most of the cases beginners worried about the command line interfaces specially who are not familiar well with linux systems. Although git’s real power lies on command line. But to start git from command line for a newbie might not be a good idea.

To find a  workaround , I found couple of great tools around. They all are good . I choose ‘Source Tree’ from Altassian. Howerver others are also found good fit.

Git can be hosted in linux or windows server. I was trying to find something like Github but a community edition so that interested people will host on their own server as well. I found GitLab then. But the constraint is on linux. It’s not available on windows till. I consider the system administrators will understand this. However if any window lover want to go with the GitLab, there’s still a chance to fit. In turnkeylinux I found stack for gitlab on virtual (specially for vmware). Though turnkey linux’s virtual for GitLab is bit old, but hope users will survive and try to upgrade them on their own.
