Git is the version control system developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development. It took the open source world by storm since its inception in 2005, and is used by small development shops and giants like Google, Red Hat, and IBM, and of course many open source projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tutorial and reference 24 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
Having recently switch to using Git and GitHub for a significant proportion of my own work, I was recommended Pro Git by a technically knowledgeable friend of mine. It didn't disappoint at all.

Pro Git is a well written and informative tutorial on getting the most out of Git in your projects. What's more, it provides an excellent reference resource once you've read it. I really can't praise it enough; it provides the perfect companion to the extensive online documentation for Git--and also includes plenty of explanatory information into the overall workings of Git to aid your understanding of potential work flows.

If you're going to be using Git for absolutely anything, you should definitely purchase this book. It's fantastic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction 16 Nov 2010
By Nathan
Format:Paperback
As a complete newbie to Git and running Windows I was looking for a book that would help me configure and get Git running as soon as possible.

This book helped me pick the version of Git to use (mysysgit) and get it configured and ready for use.

When ready to use it the book then explained how branching, merging, remote repsoitories, etc work and how to get Git to do what you need it to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Look no further, it's the book on Git 3 Jan 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Written by an expert in the field, "Pro Git" is a book with a misleading title, but in a good sense. It's useful not only to pro-level users of Git but also to newbies.

The first four chapters act as introduction/tutorial for a lower level of using Git. This part is especially useful for someone coming from different systems, like Subversion.

The rest of the book takes you on using Git at a higher level.

The book focuses on functionality first and on internals second. It exhibits excellent explanations and intuitive use cases. It is nicely illustrated, just enough to make the point.

Having an expert on anything to be also a good teacher on that field is rare. Scott Chacon has succeeded in being both.
