Everything you need to know about Git,

This review is from: Pro Git (Paperback)
Being a huge fan of Git, I thought I wouldn't learn as much as I had from Pro Git. Well done.

Most Effective Revision Control Book I have read,
By
This review is from: Pro Git (Paperback)
I have had a long personal interest in revision control and have read many titles on process and technology ranging from UCM and ClearCase to branching strategies and Subversion administration. None of them has provided nearly as concise or effective coverage as Scott's book.
Pro Git is an easy read with clearly diagrammed concepts presented and built upon in an order that matches my needs as an experienced Revision Control user and administrator. It has also proven to be an indispensible companion for my team mates who are new to Git. I was using Subversion professionally and got familiar with Git by using git-svn to cleanly manage multi-tasking in my working copy. Once I had that down I went on to using it as a root-cause analysis tool thanks to the instantaneous searching of history in Gitk. I cannot imagine using Subversion directly anymore and I would be glad to retire it completely.

best visual explanations of git concepts and methodology,
By M.S. "mtin" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pro Git (Paperback)
i read through all the other git books to this date and i came to the conclusion that this is the best as far as visual explanations of the git concepts and methodology is concerned. my colleagues had the same "aha" experience as i after reading through this book, as we were all suffering from a not so clear picture of how git actually branches, merges and treats remote repositories.
i can highly recommend it! 22 of 23 people found the following review helpful:

Good Book,
By Andrei Mouravski - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pro Git (Paperback)
I began reading Pro Git, by Scott Chacon, after having already used Git in a
large team-based project. Due to this, I was afraid I would get bored of the book very easily since I had already learned a decent amount of the material. This was most assuredly not the case. Chacon has done an excellent job in writing a book that serves as an excellent beginners guide and a quick reference at the same time. The first part of the book is devoted to looking at multiple version control systems along with a history of version control. Chacon also makes it very easy to set Git up in a number of environments so that you can get started right away. The first half of the book is dedicated towards basics of the system, advanced features, such as rebasing, and setting up a remote server for git. The next half of the book contains a wealth of knowledge regarding best practices when using Git, additional tools and configuration options, and finally, nitty-gritty details on how Git works under the hood. My biggest complaint would have to be the fact that the material on using Git remotely is scattered in a couple different parts of the book. This makes it slightly difficult to find specific information regarding remote work. Overall, Chacon did an excellent job with Pro Git. After reading this book I was able to easily fill in the holes in my knowledge and felt significantly more comfortable maintaining a Git system for personal and team projects. 19 of 22 people found the following review helpful:

Excellent companion to Git,
By J. P. Mens - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pro Git (Paperback)
Scott Chacon is one of the guys behind github -- a hosting site for projects managed by Git distributed version control system. As such, Scott is extremely competent in all things Git, and he wrote a book (or should I say the book) on Git. The book is called Pro Git. I've been using Git for some time now, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on a printed copy of the book. (I'm old-fashioned that way -- I prefer reading paper books.)
Pro Git is published by Apress. On 250 odd pages, Scott manages to bring Git across in a very vivid way. Lots of sample sessions and a huge number of figures make Git come alive and fun to use! (Only at one point while reading the book, did I think: "why is he telling me that?", but it can't have been too bad, because upon writing this, I can't find the place.) Pro Git starts off easily enough, but it does so at a fast pace, for which I was grateful: you get past the basics on page 45, which means the book gets you set up quickly, so that you can start taking Git for a spin. Chapter 3 is called "Git Branching", and the thirty pages explain all you ever wanted to know (as well as all you never wanted to know ) about branching. This part is hardcore, but Scott explains this with lots of diagrams, making it easier for us to follow. One of the best chapters in the book, for me, is called "Git on the server". Scott explains the different methods of setting up Git so as to be able to collaborate. If you use Git or intend to (and I'd certainly recommend you look at it), I very warmly recommend Scott Chacon's Pro Git: it's the best companion you'll have for Git. |
