Book Description

This is a short book that covers the basics of Git version control. The lessons are short and provide step-by-step instructions to guide a beginner to the basic usage of Git commands. This is a practical hands-on guide to learning Git.

This book introduces Git from the perspective of a person who uses it every day, but still remembers what it was like getting up to speed, with questions like following in the mind:

• I see that there’s extra complexity with Git because of the need to synchronize different repositories. What are the benefits that justify that extra step?
• What commands am I really going to use everyday?
• Is branching really easy and cheap enough that I can use it for everything?
• What are the “go-to” commands for when I mess stuff up?
• How is team collaboration different with Git?

• Alan Hohn is a software architect employed by Lockheed Martin.
