Book Description

Since its inception, Git has attracted skilled developers due to its robust, powerful, and reliable features. Its incredibly fast branching ability transformed it from a niche tool for Linux Kernel developers into a mainstream distributed versioning system 🌐. Like most powerful tools, Git can be hard to approach, with numerous commands and options that may confuse newcomers.

This 2nd edition helps you overcome that fear and become adept at all basic Git tasks 🛠️. Building on the success of the first book, it starts with a brief installation guide, then dives deep into Git essentials. For returning readers, this edition explores internals more thoroughly, using practical examples over theory.

The book serves as a primer for branching and merging, creating and managing GitHub repositories, and handling fork and pull requests 🔀. You’ll learn the art of cherry-picking 🍒, using Git blame, and interoperating with Subversion—including converting SVN repositories to Git.

To conclude, it offers a rich collection of resources and appendices to satisfy even the most curious minds 📚.
