Book description
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.

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 Subversion
Git has earned the respect of developers around the world. Find out how you can benefit from this amazing tool with Version Control with Git.
