## learning some Haskell
Want to learn some Haskell to get hacking on git-annex?
As Haskell programs go, git-annex does not use too many advanced features.
[Learn You A Haskell](http://learnyouahaskell.com/) will teach you enough
to get started.
Of course git-annex does use monads, and particularly the `Annex``monad
which gives access to its state about the git repository as well as
lower-level IO.

I'm taking this as an indication that [[/contribute]] needed some pointers
for learning haskell, so have made some changes there that might answer
your question, as well as others who see that page.
