Key benefits

  • Master all the basic concepts of Git to protect your code and make it easier to evolve
  • Use Git proficiently, and learn how to resolve day-by-day challenges easily
  • This step-by-step guide is packed with examples to help you learn and work with Git’s internals

Description

Since its inception, Git has attracted skilled developers due to its robust, powerful, and reliable features. Its incredibly fast branching ability transformed a piece of code from a niche tool for Linux Kernel developers into a mainstream distributed versioning system. Like most powerful tools, Git can be hard to approach since it has a lot of commands, subcommands, and options that easily confuse newcomers. The 2nd edition of this very successful book will help you overcome this fear and become adept in all the basic tasks in Git. Building upon the success of the first book, we start with a brief step-by-step installation guide; after this, you'll delve into the essentials of Git. For those of you who have bought the first edition, this time we go into internals in far greater depth, talking less about theory and using much more practical examples. The book serves as a primer for topics to follow, such as branching and merging, creating and managing a GitHub personal repository, and fork and pull requests. You’ll then learn the art of cherry-picking, taking only the commits you want, followed by Git blame. Finally, we'll see how to interoperate with a Subversion server, covering the concepts and commands needed to convert an SVN repository into a Git repository. To conclude, this is a collection of resources, links, and appendices to satisfy even the most curious.

Who is this book for?

If you are a software developer with little or no experience of versioning systems, or you are familiar with other centralized versioning systems, then this book is for you. If you have experience in server and system management and need to broaden your use of Git from a DevOps perspective, this book contains everything you need.

What you will learn

  • Master Git fundamentals
  • Be able to "visualize," even with the help of a valid GUI tool
  • Write principal commands in a shell
  • Figure out the right strategy to run change your daily work with few or no annoyances
  • Explore the tools used to migrate to Git from the Subversion versioning system without losing your development history
  • Plan new projects and repositories with ease, using online services, or local network resources

Awesome book. You'll understand why git works the way it works. Takes you through the basic git structure to understand the advanced commands. Also covers the mistakes one may face. Great for beginners and experienced users alike.

Let me start with the positive. The information is good. If you put in the time to interpret what the author is saying you will learn some finer details of git, and that information is valuable.However... there are some issues:1) the first 40 pages or so were just filler. Big pictures with 2 or 3 sentences stating the obvious. Could have been condensed into... at least half as many pages. So my initial impressions is that the book was a jokeHowever, come chapter 2 it really picked up, and started delivering valuable information.2) there are places where his explanations are just completely lackluster. I have no doubt that I could have worded them much better myself. It took me 4 reads to understand what he was trying to say about reset --soft, for example.3) The author did not organize the material. Reading it was like... sifting through a messy room looking for an item you lost. For example, information on the --help command can be found 30 pages apart, just kind of scattered in places where it doesn't belong. That information should have just been in one place, up front. I wouldn't mention this if I hadn't noticed multiple times where information that should be grouped together is just strewn around in random places4) The author has a bad writing style where he shows you something but doesn't explain it, and tells you he will explain it in a while. You then have to remember that thing and remain confused while listening to him talk - until he finally gets around to explaining himself. Sometimes it takes over 30 pages to reach a conclusion.5) I said the information is good, but it isn't phenomenal. It isn't comprehensive or anything.6) It just reeks of laziness / bad writing ability.HOWEVER.... after you stumble through this, and take notes (I recommend taking notes over trying to sift through the disorganized mess of a book if you forgot something)... you will have the information you need and be proficient. That is why I gave it 3 stars.From what I understand alot of chapter 2's information - the books only redeeming quality, the information provided - was actually added into the 2nd edition after people complained. The fact this needed to be asked for is really a testament to how little effort the author put into this.Would I recommend you buy it? Only if you can't find a better book with glowing reviews. I think you probably can. It does have the information you need, but you will have to put unnecessary effort into sifting through / interpreting it. The author just is not a good writer, I myself could have written a better book.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
