Git Version Control Cookbook

I can highly recommend the book "Git Version Control Cookbook" by Kenneth Geisshirt et al.Git is in some ways like the Unix operating system: No matter how much an experienced guru you are, there will be corners you overlooked or simply never thought of.The examples of the book gives you an excellent overview of the inner workings of Git, advanced merge-strategies and workflows as well as strategies for solving issues as they occur. In essence anything you need - the ultimate "Junior Woodchuck Guide Book" for your Git work.

In this book not many details of git

While Git is one of most powerful tools, it is a very difficult tool to understand and use. In the world governed by GitHub, most people around the world use Git as a version control tool, but few people will understand and use Git profoundly. While many are familiar with the basic scenarios of writing common commits, reviewing others' work, and merging them, complex and difficult features avoid the scenarios. Most people just write what they used to do. A lot of people do not fix the problem if they encounter a problem while using Git, rather than writing a new commit and avoiding it. I was also one of those people.This book is certainly not an easy book. It is a detailed description, but it is not a book that serves as a primer to explain basic functions as a primer. This book explains Git's internal structure and mechanisms in detail, explains in detail the different scenarios you may encounter in your business, and suggests solutions. Let me think about a more advanced solution. This book is made up of detailed guides to understand and tame Git, a tool that is a bit difficult but a long-term tool.Not all concepts are new. Some concepts were easy to understand already. There are other contents that I made mistakes. It would be better if you knew before making the mistake. It also included concepts that were completely unknown. I do not want to fully understand all the concepts of this book. However, I think that there will be a variety of explanations and scenarios in various categories that I will need someday. The value of this book is there.Many thanks to the authors for giving me their hard-earned knowledge. Because of this book, I was able to improve my understanding of Git in a short time.

Git is a very big place. Even if you are a git ninja it is very likely that there are features and commands you have never used. Even more likely, you have probably encountered situations in which you were pretty sure that git could perform some esoteric trick that was exactly what you needed but you weren't quite sure of the exact syntax of the commands required to pull it off. It can be pretty dangerous to just start hacking around.If any of that sounds familiar this book is definitely for you. It is pretty astounding in the breadth of topics that it covers: from simple commits and logging, to hooks, branch filters and setting up a GitHub repository with Jenkins. I found myself getting excited at about every tenth page: "Oh! Oh! I've always wanted to know how to do that!"Each topic is covered precisely with, as promised, cookbook-like instructions for accomplishing the task. They are short, terse, and exactly what you want when you really just want to get a job done. In addition, though, each topic has "How it Works" and "There's More" sections that provide enough background information so that you can adapt the specific cookbook instructions to cover a variety of similar situations.The book begins with the obligatory description of how git works. Don't let that lure you into believing it is a beginner's book. If you have not used git before, this is probably not the place to start anymore that you would hand James Beard's "New Recipes for the Cuisinart Food Processor" to your 8-year-old. If you know some git, though, you will probably find yourself using this book as a reference, again and again.This is, indeed, a cookbook. It is a cookbook of which Ottam Ottolenghi or Julia Childs would be very proud.
