Learning about version control systems, Git, SVN

Question

I am a basic SVN user now trying to learn GIT for a new position.

I am trying the usual reading docs and watching videos. However after doing all that I still feel that there is a lot that I do not know. I was wondering if there is a place like project Euler for programming languages, that provides a series of exercises that you can do just to increase your confidence and test your knowledge about a version control system.

Something thats generic enough and gets you up to speed with how to do basic things. This could also serve as a comparison point of sorts between multiple VCSs, that would show what things are easy in which VCS.

If there is nothing I was planning to document my journey in learning GIT and the create an exercise of this sort.

Answer 1

I strongly recommend Visual git tutorial I.

BUT, there was a lot of questions here about GIT, SVN etc., for example:
