(not necessary)

run the docker image provided to launch postgresql (telegram)

install dependencies:

Git Guide

• Git Reference: despite its name it is more of a user guide.
• “Pro Git” Book: by a core developer, also a thorough user guide.
• Git Documentation: the official reference (also accessible with git help command)
• Think Like a Git: a course for “advanced beginners” that know basic committing but want to make sense of the Git model. Especially useful if you come from SVN to really clear misconceptions about git.
• Git Concepts Simplified: Similar to the previous link, but less in-depth and more straightforward.
• Git Immersion: learn Git by using it on carefully crafted examples of increasing complexity.
• Git from the bottom up: A book to learn git by first understanding the simplicity and beauty of its internals.
• Git Magic: complete opposite of “Git from the bottom up” in that it treats Git as a magical gizmo you’ll learn to use without drowning into the underlying storage and history model.
• Git questions on StackOverflow: comprehensive coverage of advanced matters.
• Top 10 Git Tutorials for Beginners: A list of tutorials and resources. Contains another list of far more than 10 sites at the end.
