Whether you’re making the switch from a traditional centralized version control system or are a new programmer just getting started, this book prepares you to start using Git in your everyday programming.

Pragmatic Version Control Using Git starts with an overview of version control systems, and shows how being distributed enables you to work more efficiently in our increasingly mobile society. It then progresses through the basics necessary to get started using Git.

You’ll get a thorough overview of how to take advantage of Git. By the time you finish this book you’ll have a firm grounding in how to use Git, both by yourself and as part of a team.


“I give this book a thumbs-up, because even though there is the free Git Community Book, Wiki, and other free documentation, Pragmatic Version Control Using Git is the best-organized and most thorough.”

–Carla Schroder, Linux Today
