Git in Plain English

About this book

Version control read aloud: from your first commit to reading somebody else's history.

A calm walk through Git, read aloud: not a list of commands but a picture of how it thinks. The three zones of a file and the loop you work in, what a commit is actually made of, branches and merges, remote repositories and life on a team. Then, separately, how to undo and fix mistakes, when a rebase belongs and how to read somebody else's history in a real repository. Every chapter stands on its own and ends with a short bridge to the next.
