This book is about Git―a free, open-source version control system. The aim of this book is to help beginners get up and running with version control quickly, and then to take a deeper dive into its mechanics if they so desire.

Who Should Read This Book

This book is suitable for anyone interested in managing multiple revisions of code, data and documents. It's ideal for beginners who plan to start working with Git, but it's also useful for seasoned developers who are looking to consolidate their understanding of Git.

What's Covered in This Book?

The book starts off by outlining the philosophy of version control and why Linus Torvalds decided to create Git for the Linux kernel.

It then proceeds to introduce the basics of Git and the various terms related to it. Most of the chapters in this book focus on using the command line to explore Git, as there's no better way to use all its features.

The focus next turns to using Git in a team environment, where version control is essential. This is where cloud services like GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab come in. A general overview of the workings of GitHub is included to assist in getting started with that service.

This book also deals with workflows that are generally adopted by organizations. Considerable time is devoted to "branching", as this is one feature that makes Git arguably the best option for version control.
