Learn Git in a Month of Lunches (Paperback)

Git has emerged as the source code control system preferred by distributed development teams. Its unique decentralized architecture and lightning-fast branching allow users to concentrate on code instead of tedious admin tasks. While Git can appear to be a diverse and sprawling beast, there are a few essential concepts and techniques required to get the most out of it. This book helps build the skills needed to use Git effectively in day-to-day dev tasks.

Learn Git in a Month of Lunches introduces the discipline of source code control using Git. Whether a newbie or a busy pro moving source control to Git, readers will appreciate how this book concentrates on the components of Git that are used every day. In easy-to-follow lessons designed to take an hour or less, readers can dig into Git's distributed collaboration model, along with core concepts like committing, branching, and merging. Instead of a shallow introduction to Git's massive surface area, they'll find a road map to the commands and processes needed to be instantly productive.
