eg is a tool designed to ease the transition from Subversion (SVN) to Git, especially for users who are hesitant or find it challenging to switch. It offers resources like the Easy Git for SVN Users chart and an eg cheat sheet to help users understand Git concepts, such as the staging area, in a familiar context. While committing actions in eg are similar to those in SVN, the tool also educates users on specific Git functionalities. Developed by Chris Wanstrath, eg aims to serve as a bridge for those accustomed to SVN, facilitating a smoother adoption of Git and tools like GitHub.
