I said before, this is my first interaction
with a well-organized project. I have read
about git and branches and cloning
repositories and diffs and submitting patches
and merge requests. I've just never done any
of it before. I want to learn to do it. I want
to push some updates to the HOWTO. I plan to
do it in the future. <br>

<code><font face="HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial,
Lucida Grande, sans-serif">Welcome to the club. I've been doing
systems admin for 25 years, and mostly 'devops' admin for going
on ten years now, and have only used git in the most basic of
ways - the occasional configuration file version control for
example. I've only been contributing to the ntpsec project in my
small way for a very short while, and am still learning the
finer points of merging, branching, etc.<br>
<br>
Git is complex, and powerful. A background in coding is
certainly helpful, I'm sure it's easier for devs to learn than
non-coders. There are however massive volumes of help on the
net, tutorials aplenty, and the folks here have been kind enough
not to shoo me away when I have my little git glitches.<br>
