=== Getting Help

If you get stuck, you can seek help in the following places.

==== git@vger.kernel.org

This is the main Git project mailing list where code reviews, version
announcements, design discussions, and more take place. Those interested in
contributing are welcome to post questions here. The Git list requires
plain-text-only emails and prefers inline and bottom-posting when replying to
mail; you will be CC'd in all replies to you. Optionally, you can subscribe to
the list by sending an email to majordomo@vger.kernel.org with "subscribe git"
in the body. The https://lore.kernel.org/git[archive] of this mailing list is
available to view in a browser.

==== https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/git-mentoring[git-mentoring@googlegroups.com]

This mailing list is targeted to new contributors and was created as a place to
post questions and receive answers outside of the public eye of the main list.
Veteran contributors who are especially interested in helping mentor newcomers
are present on the list. In order to avoid search indexers, group membership is
required to view messages; anyone can join and no approval is required.

==== https://webchat.freenode.net/#git-devel[#git-devel] on Freenode

This IRC channel is for conversations between Git contributors. If someone is
currently online and knows the answer to your question, you can receive help
in real time. Otherwise, you can read the
https://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_logs/git-devel[scrollback] to see
whether someone answered you. IRC does not allow offline private messaging, so
if you try to private message someone and then log out of IRC, they cannot
respond to you. It's better to ask your questions in the channel so that you
can be answered if you disconnect and so that others can learn from the
conversation.
