    5.0 out of 5 stars Essential introduction and reference for Git, 14 Sep 2009
    By B. James (London) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Git is an immensely versatile set of tools which can add so much more to your development process than a centralised SCM like Subversion.

    Before I read this book, however, I'd been using Git for about a year and still had not moved very far from the old workflow I'd followed with Subversion.

    Reading Pragmatic Version Control Using Git gave me a better understanding of some of the commands I'd already been using, and also of those I hadn't yet used. I've now significantly expanded the repertoire of Git commands in my daily development. For me, Git is no longer just a version control tool, but a power-tool for agile development, experimentation and hacking.

    Like many others in the Prag Prog series, the book follows a narrative style based around an example development project, the repository for which is available from GitHub. This didn't slow me down through the bits I already knew, however, since the repository for each individual chapter is available separately.

    In the Appendices is also a reference of common Git command usages, so the book's usefulness will continue long after you've finished your first reading.
