This book was written because I thought there weren’t enough books and webpages about Git. No, not really.
This book was written because I saw an ever-so-narrow niche for a book that introduced Git from the perspective of a person who uses it every day, but still remembers what it was like getting up to speed. I remember having questions like:
- I see that there’s extra complexity with Git because of the need to synchronize different repositories. What are the benefits that justify that extra step?
- What commands am I really going to use everyday?
- Is branching really easy and cheap enough that I can use it for everything?
- What are the “go-to” commands for when I mess stuff up?
- How is team collaboration different with Git?
I’m trying to answer these questions on behalf of smart people that want to understand and evaluate the tool before they put in the effort to get into its architecture and learn the more advanced commands that even a regular user hardly needs.
