Version Control with Git takes you step-by-step through ways to track, merge, and manage software projects, using this highly flexible, open source version control system.
Git permits virtually an infinite variety of methods for development and collaboration. Created by Linus Torvalds to manage development of the Linux kernel, it's become the principal tool for distributed version control. But Git's flexibility also means that some users don't understand how to use it to their best advantage. Version Control with Git offers tutorials on the most effective ways to use it, as well as friendly yet rigorous advice to help you navigate Git's many functions.
With this book, you will:
- Learn how to use Git in several real-world development environments
- Gain insight into Git's common-use cases, initial tasks, and basic functions
- Understand how to use Git for both centralized and distributed version control
- Use Git to manage patches, diffs, merges, and conflicts
- Acquire advanced techniques such as rebasing, hooks, and ways to handle submodules (subprojects)
- Learn how to use Git with SubversionGit has earned the respect of developers around the world. Find out how you can benefit from this amazing tool with Version Control with Git.

"Besonders das Kapitel über Merges ist sehr interessant und detailreich geschrieben und man erfährt eine Menge Dinge über Mergestrategien und wie sie in einem verteilten Versionssystem anzuwenden ist. Hier könnten sich andere Bücher über Versionskontrollsysteme durchaus eine Scheibe abschneiden." -- IT-Stammtisch Darmstadt, Januar 2010
"[Das Buch bietet] eine bislang nicht da gewesene Tiefe: komplizierte Merge-Szenarien, Tipps für Teams mit verteilten Repositories, typische Fallstricke beim scheinbar mühelosen Ändern bereits erfolgter Commits. All das macht das Buch zum kaum entbehrlichen Ratgeber für Git, dessen Entwicklung immmer noch rasant fortschreitet. [...]ausgesprochen dicht geschrieben und gespickt mit Informationen, die so kondensiert noch niemand zusammengetragen hat." -- Linux-Magazin, August 2009
