I have more of my own stuff on Gitlab. However, I'm interested in learning a bit more about using git effectively in collaboration with others no matter which platform (or their own site) they are using. The git paradigm is not trivial. For those of us who use it sporadically there is some "relearning" each time. Recently I found I failed to get a pull request to work properly. Still not sure why. I suspect there's other members who are not power users of git who can benefit from some helpful cheat notes and diagrams, as well as an overview of the web interface.
