=== Getting Help
28+
29+
If you get stuck, you can seek help in the following places.
30+
31+
32+
33+
This is the main Git project mailing list where code reviews, version
34+
announcements, design discussions, and more take place. Those interested in
35+
contributing are welcome to post questions here. The Git list requires
36+
plain-text-only emails and prefers inline and bottom-posting when replying to
37+
mail; you will be CC'd in all replies to you. Optionally, you can subscribe to
38+
the list by sending an email to [email protected] with "subscribe git"
39+
in the body. The https://lore.kernel.org/git[archive] of this mailing list is
40+
available to view in a browser.
41+
42+
==== https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/git-mentoring[[email protected]]
43+
44+
This mailing list is targeted to new contributors and was created as a place to
45+
post questions and receive answers outside of the public eye of the main list.
46+
Veteran contributors who are especially interested in helping mentor newcomers
47+
are present on the list. In order to avoid search indexers, group membership is
48+
required to view messages; anyone can join and no approval is required.
49+
50+
==== https://webchat.freenode.net/#git-devel[#git-devel] on Freenode
51+
52+
This IRC channel is for conversations between Git contributors. If someone is
53+
currently online and knows the answer to your question, you can receive help
54+
in real time. Otherwise, you can read the
55+
https://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_logs/git-devel[scrollback] to see
56+
whether someone answered you. IRC does not allow offline private messaging, so
57+
if you try to private message someone and then log out of IRC, they cannot
58+
respond to you. It's better to ask your questions in the channel so that you
59+
can be answered if you disconnect and so that others can learn from the
60+
conversation.
