How to Git good
TL;DR: To get better at something, practice. To form a habit, commit to do it often.
This is a story about challenging myself to get into a good habit. About a hundred days and a week ago, I started Hacker School. The first day there, I learned how to use GitHub. That same day I decided to commit to committing, as part of my quest to become a drastically better programmer.
i think everyone spending a day learning to github would make a bigger impact on the world than spending a day learning to code

A week later, I realized that I messed up my streak, by forgetting to commit over the weekend. Doh!
