+ === 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.

+
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.
