Very good,

This review is from: Pragmatic Version Control Using Git (Paperback)
This book is great. Compared to other documents on Git, it does explain what are the ideas behind the terminology used throughout the distributed version control management. And more specifically related to Git. For example, I do now have a much better idea of what "rebase" means. And in fact, it is quite different than what I thought it was at first.The use of Git is explained based on real examples. In fact, one can download code from a repository and see what is going on when modifying files, branching and so on. Is makes simplifies so much the use of Git that you really get to think it is a tool no one should live without (at least persons dealing with text files like source code). In fact, I use it myself to handle my LaTeX sources for various documents needing updates at times. Enjoyable tool. You will learn from it and can used it as a reference afterward.

Great resource on learning Git quickly,
By Telman Yusupov - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pragmatic Version Control Using Git (Paperback)
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Git:- It explains concepts clearly and succinctly without being dry - It's short: you can go through this book in a day or two. - It succeeds in explaining what Git is and what the main most useful features are without going into unnecessary details. For anything in depth, Git manual is an excellent complementary source of information. - The book organized in a way that reminds me of classic K&R "The C Programming Language": a short introductory tutorial showcasing main tools and then more in-depth explanation of these tools in the following chapters. I find this type of organization to be most conductive to my learning process. The book has proven to be very useful to me in getting up to speed on Git quickly and deserves a 5 star rating. 22 of 24 people found the following review helpful

Good book, but somewhat disappointing..,
By Eitan C. Suez "eitan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pragmatic Version Control Using Git (Paperback)
it's wonderful to have a book on git out early. it's a great way to get started with git. the amount of content is somewhat skimpy. that's fine. i don't necessarily prefer books that are voluminous. but you get to the end of the book and you've gone through all of the examples and you get this sense that you haven't really grokked it. i just watched the youtube video of linus' speech on git at google, and i left with an understanding of the essence of git that i feel i didn't get from the book.

Short, Sweet, and Good,
By Larry - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pragmatic Version Control Using Git (Paperback)
You hear a lot about GIT in the Ruby and Rails world - which makes you wonder: What is so bad about Subversion?Turns out, nothing. But GIT has some definite advantages which are clearly and succinctly explained in the book. It doesn't assume previous knowledge about version control systems, which is nice for people just getting their feet wet with this kind of software. Instead of simply telling you how to do something, it also explains why you would want (or need) to do it. And what problems could arise. And how to work around them. It also explains how you can start using it yourself, even if the rest of your group is still using Subversion. It turns out that GIT can play quite nicely with that popular piece of software - which should encourage hesitant people to take the plunge. |
