What will you learn from this book? Many people who use Git rely on "recipes"--copying and pasting commands they find on the internet without really understanding how Git actually works. But what do you do if you find yourself in a tight spot? You cant simply wing it. With this unique hands-on guide, youll learn the ways of Git and have fun while doing it. Raju Gandhi peels back the layers to reveal the simple yet powerful engine that powers Git, so youll understand not just the how but the why. Youll master branches, merges, commit messages, search, utilities, and more; learn best practices for collaborative work; and unlock the full potential of Git. Whats so special about this book? If youve read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you havent, youre in for a treat. With this book, youll learn Git through a multisensory experience that engages your mind rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.
