Who this book is for

This book targets developers, professional build/release managers, and DevOps practitioners who want a practical guide for the next level of Git. Starting with the Git data model and advancing through branching to metadata and hooks, all through an easy-to-read recipe structure, the transition from simple, everyday use cases to advanced repository handling is smooth. The book can be easily read and understood by readers from the target audience. You need basic knowledge of common GNU/Linux tools and Shell/Bash scripting to get the most from this book.
