First and most annoyingly, the title is misleading. This is not a Best Practices book, this is the bare minimum of commands, cobbled together for people who never used git before. Only the last chapter gets into actual practices, but it is nothing more than an commentated rehash of blog posts on that topic.The book shows commands but does not explain the "why" behind them. For example, it tells you that you can push changes, but does not mention what pushing means or when and why you would do it. It tells you that you can have tracked and untracked branches, but does not say anything on why or why not you would want to do that. It does not even tell anything on why you would want branches at all. From a book called "Best Practices" I would expect a discussion on how to set up my branches and when to merge them. The author explains how you run the rebase command, but not why. From a BestPractices book I expect the pros and cons of rebasing and when and when not to use it.The book is incomplete; it refers to private and public branches without explaining what these are.Some example commands don't work as given. And that is not only because of missing spaces or e.g. botched stash names (stash@"1} instead of stash@{1}). Did this book have a copy editor?Some explanations are imprecise or plain wrong. For example, contrary to what the author states, git status does not magically print which files "need to be pushed". (How could it know what makes sense to push?) While the author mentions pros and cons of different repository access protocols, he doesn't even mention "encryption" when talking about SSH. When the author briefly touches on semantic versioning, he only mentions bug fixes, and as a beginner you may wonder how features fit in here. A hook script uses a /bin/sh shebang line and the author claims it's a bash script. Have fun with that on a system where /bin/sh does not default to bash, like Debian.
