I probably mentioned I use git for managing my code. Even in the simplistic way I know - already helpful. Like in this xkcd It is not easy finding good exercises to improve.
I got pointed to learngitbranching. It looks polished and the exercises are short enough to do between. Just somehow I overlooked the commandos reset and undo to restart the exercised.
