Mailing List

The best place to talk about Git and get questions answered is usually the mailing list. You don't even need to be subscribed to post, just send an email to:

• git@vger.kernel.org

You can find more official information about the mailing list here:

• http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#git

The list volume is around 100 posts per day, to subscribe send an email to:

• majordomo@vger.kernel.org

With an empty subject line and the words "subscribe git" in the message body.

Mailing List Archives

There are several sites that archive all of the mailing list traffic so that you can search for discussions that have happened in the past:

• Gmane archive, with web interface using frames, blog-like interface, NNTP interface (Usenet interface) and RSS feeds.
• Git mailing list archive at MARC, Mailing list ARChives, with search.
• Alternate Australian archive (www.gelato.unsw.edu.au) (last updated Feb 2007).
• spinics.net archive (least used)
• mail-archive of git@vger.kernel.org (last updated Sep 2005).
• lists.zerezo.com archive

You can read ongoing threads without subscribing via GMane news (Usenet) gateway:

• nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git

You can read (selected) threads using RSS feeds

• From GMane archive you can read all messages or all topics, with full or with excepted texts.
• From GIT Mailing List RSS Feeds you can read selected threads (ANNOUNCE, msysGit Herald, Notes from maintainer, What's in...).

IRC

For quick questions or just to hang out with fellow git enthusiasts, join the #git channel on irc.freenode.net.

• Official #git channel log
• Historical #git channel log

Google Group

There is also a Git Users Group at http://groups.google.com/group/git-users. While still new, the community looks like it's going to grow fast.

GitTogether

These are events when git developers and users physically meet in the same place.
