Publisher Description
Git is a free version control system known for its speed, reliability, and non-linear development model. Its popularity among open-source developers makes Git a necessary tool for professional programmers, but it can also do wonders for your personal coding workflow. You’ll be able to experiment with new ideas, radically refactor existing code, and efficiently share changes with other developers—all without the slightest worry towards breaking your project.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through the entire Git library, writing code and executing commands every step of the way. You'll create commits, revert snapshots, navigate branches, communicate with remote repositories, and experience core Git concepts first-hand.

A Good introduction to Git
This is a practical project-based introduction to git. It won’t make you a git expert, but it will make you competent.
Great book!
I found this book to be extremely helpful in learning Git. Doing real-life exercises to gain actual experience with Git helped me understand Git better than just reading about it had in the past. The fact that such a great book is available for free is really amazing.
An outstanding introduction to git
Of all the introductions to git that I have read, this is the best.
1. It strikes a balance between being advanced enough to introduce all major features, yet simple enough for a beginner to understand.
2. A key concept overlooked by many other tutorials is developed well here: collaboration within an organization without using internal network rather than a repository like GitHub or bitbucket. In development of ideas, this is a logical step before going to an internet repository.
3. Extensive use of simple but powerful diagrams helps the reader map their progress.
I wish this author had writter more tutorials.
