From the publisher

Practice your Git skills using exercises in your own environment. This book introduces concepts in an abstract visual way, and then enforces this learning through exercises - the Git katas.

You will start with basic interactions such as commits and branches, and move on to both internals and collaborative workflows. Best practices are introduced and rehearsed throughout with hands-on exercises. Each topic is supplemented with interactive Git exercises that can be solved using any Git client - either the ubiquituous CLI or one of the many graphical clients so you'll learn in the environment you work in.

The importance of Git is hard to overstate - it is used by 90% of software engineers worldwide and is the de facto standard for version control. Honing your Git skills is guaranteed to make you a better and more efficient developer. Building software can be stressful, but it doesn't need to be. Practical Git will give you the Git skills you need, and help keep your Git skills sharp. Add it to your library today.

What You'll Learn

Use Git through scripted exercises and the Git katas
Understand Git's graph model
Troubleshoot common and rare scenarios you may face
Select and apply the right Git tool for the task
Maintain and collaborate on Git repositories
Tweak Git to gain the most from this powerful tool
