Learn Haskell

Welcome to Learn Haskell. I've set up this repo to help you... wait for it... learn Haskell. I'm going to liberally borrow and refer to many other resources. There's a large community of friendly Haskellers out there to help!

Lessons

• Getting Started: Set up git and your repos.
• Unit 00: Make sure the moving parts are moving.
• Unit 01: Numbers, lists, basic functions.
• Examples: Some examples to test your understanding.

Getting Started

You're welcome to use this repo in any way you like, but if I'm personally mentoring you, here's what you need to do:

1. Install git on your local machine.

2. Create a GitHub account (if you don't already have one).

3. Fork this repo.

4. Clone your fork on your local machine. Be sure to clone your fork, not this repo! (Troubleshooting)

    $ git clone https://github.com/YOUR-GITHUB-NAME/learn-haskell.git
   

5. Add a new upstream remote. This will be used to stay current with new material as it appears.

    $ cd /path/to/learn-haskell
    $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/instinctive/learn-haskell.git
   

If you don't know git, here are some good resources:

• GitHub Guides
• git - the simple guide

Pushing your changes to your fork

When you have made changes, such as solving assignments, you can push them to your fork (on GitHub) with the command:

$ cd /path/to/learn-haskell
$ git push -u origin master

Staying current with new material

You will use the upstream remote whenever new material is added to this repo:

$ cd /path/to/learn-haskell
$ git pull upstream master

Troubleshooting

Trying git clone <url> on Windows, I received:

fatal: I don't handle protocol 'https'

This turned out to be a non-printing character between git clone and the url, which must have been introduced by a bad copy-paste. I deleted that part of the command line and retyped it.
