Preface

Git is a free, open source, distributed version control system created by Linus Torvalds. Git requires low operational overhead, yet is flexible and powerful enough to support the demands of complex, large-scale, distributed software development projects.

Our goal in this book is to show you how to get the most out of Git and how to manage a Git repository with ease. By the end, you will have learned Gits philosophy, fundamental concepts, and intermediate to advanced skills for tracking content, collaborating, and managing your projects across teams.

Who This Book Is For

We wrote this book with software engineers (developers, infrastructure engineers, DevOps, etc.) in mind as our primary audience. As such, most of the concepts and examples we use relate to the daily routines and tasks of folks in the software development industry. However, Git is robust enough to track content in areas as varied as data science, graphic design, and book authoring, just to name a few. (Case in point: we used Git as our underlying versioning system to keep track of reviews and edits while writing this book!) Regardless of your title or level of proficiency, if you are using Git as your version control system, you will find value in these pages.

Essential Know-How

Prior experience with any version control system, its aims, and its goals will be a helpful foundation to understand how Git works and to build upon your knowledge as you read this book. You should have some familiarity with using any command-line tool, such as the Unix shell, along with basic knowledge of shell commands, because we use a lot of command-line instructions in the examples and discussions in the book. A general understanding of programming concepts is also a plus.

We developed the examples on the macOS and Ubuntu environments. The examples should work under other platforms such as Debian, Solaris, and Windows (using Git-installed command-line tools, such as Git for Windows), but you can expect slight variations.

Some exercises in the examples may require system-level operations that need root access on machines. Naturally, in such situations you should have a clear understanding of the responsibilities of operations that need root access.

New in This Revision

In this third edition, we take an entirely new, modular approach to the topics by breaking down the concepts of Git. We start by introducing you to the basics and the fundamental philosophy of Git, then gradually build upon intermediate commands to help you efficiently supplement your daily development workflow, and finally conclude with advanced git commands and concepts to help you become proficient in understanding the inner mechanics of how Git works under the hood.

Another change we made in this edition was adding more illustrations to explain complex Git concepts to give you a mental model for easier comprehension. We also highlight features from the latest release of Git and provide you with examples and tips that can help improve your current distributed development workflow.

Navigating the Book

We organized this edition into categories according to the readers familiarity and experience using Git. While we categorize the sections to get progressively more advanced to incrementally build your proficiency with Git, we designed the chapters within each section so that you can leverage the content either as standalone topics or as a series of topics building on one another sequentially.

We strove to apply a consistent structure and a consistent approach to teaching concepts in every chapter. We encourage you to take a moment to internalize this format. This will help you leverage and navigate the book as a handy reference at any point in the future.

If you have picked up the book amid juggling other responsibilities and are wondering what would be the best order to hit the ground running, fret not. will help guide you toward the chapters we feel will help you gain the most knowledge in the least amount of time.

Installing Git

To reinforce the lessons taught in the book, we highly encourage you to practice the example code snippets on your development machine. To follow along with the examples, you will need Git installed on your platform of choice. Because the steps to install Git vary according to the version of your operating system, weve provided instructions on how to install Git in accordingly.

A Note on Inclusive Language

Another important point we would like to highlight about the examples is that we feel strongly about diversity and inclusion in tech, and raising awareness is a responsibility we take seriously. As a start, we will be using the word
