Baby Git Guidebook for Developers
The Baby Git Guidebook for Developers accompanies the Baby Git programming project created by Jacob Stopak. This book dives into Git's original C code in detail to help programmers, coders, and developers learn Git.
Baby Git refers to the very first software version of the Git codebase written by Linus Torvalds (the creator of Linux) in 2005. Baby Git is written in the C programming language and consists of about 1,000 lines of code and a total of 7 commands, and they actually work.
The simplicity and "smallness" of the code make Baby Git the perfect codebase for curious developers to study in order to learn how the code works. The fact that arguably the most popular and important tool for collaborative software development in the history of the coding world is simple enough for a novice developer to understand directly from its initial code is really an amazing thing.
