Pragmatic Guide to Git, by Travis Swicegood. Pragmatic Bookshelf, 2010. I’m using git for the first time on a small project with a friend, and wanted a quick focused handbook to help with that. This book fills that bill. The guts of the book is a series of short descriptions, followed by concrete sets of commands to demonstrate how to make that work. Most of the time, the command reference has just what I’m looking for. (I’ve still got some blind spots on the tool but I won’t blame the book for that; now that I have a little experience, I’ll go back through some of the more expository material.) |
