Git is the most popular version-control system today for many reasons: it comes with great tools for developers to work in parallel, offers flexibility and performance, allows you to work offline or in multisite development, is robust against failures and attacks, and has a strong open-source community. This book explains the basic concepts of Git, with introductory chapters to get you up to speed. The authors focus on agile development and provide workflows that show the necessary commands and options for solving real-world problems. Some of the topics discussed include commits and the commit history, the repository, parallel development with branches, merging and conflict resolution, rebasing, version tagging, submodules and subtrees, troubleshooting with bisection, splitting a large project, merging small projects, and migrating to Git.
