Key Features:

Master Git and understand the significance of version control
Get to grips with Git's typical workflows, advanced functions, and their implementations
Understand important Git commands to manage your repository

Book Description:

Git is the most popular version control system in the world. It allows developers to keep up with frequent code changes in a project, ensures there are no code conflicts between the developers, and reverts to an older version of code when required.

Git for Programmers comprehensively equips you with actionable insights on advanced Git concepts in an engaging and straightforward way. This book will help you gain expertise on Git with many practical use cases as you progress through the chapters.

The book begins with a quick history of Git and instructions on how to get it and install it, after which you'll dive into the creation and cloning of your repository. As you progress through the book, you'll explore Git places, branching, and GUIs.

Once you understand the fundamentals, you'll learn how to handle merge conflicts, rebase, amend, interactive rebase, and use the log. You'll also explore important Git commands for managing your repository. Finally, the book concludes with coverage of bisect, blame, and several other problem handling techniques.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to use Git with confidence; saving, sharing, and managing files as well as undoing mistakes and rewriting history.

What You Will Learn:

Create and clone repositories
Understand the difference between local and remote repositories
Use, manage, and merge branches back into the main branch
Utilize tools to manage merge conflicts
Manage commits on your local machine through interactive rebasing
Use the log to gain control over all the data in your repository
Use bisect, blame, and other tools to undo Git mistakes

Who this book is for:

If you have basic understanding of Git and want to strengthen your command over advanced techniques and navigate different functions, this book is for you.

Review

"The Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2021 has revealed that over 93% of its 76,253 respondents use Git, more than any other tool. Git is a fundamental tool to being a developer yet most of us developers feel uneasy when we use it because most of us are self-taught on Git and have not ventured beyond the very basics. When I heard Jesse was writing a book about Git I was thrilled because I knew that after reading it, I would finally properly understand how to use this vital tool. I can confirm that Jesse's book lives up to that promise. I recommend that everyone who uses Git read the Git for Programmers book."

git pull “Git for Programmers”

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021

I've been developing software for many years in the Microsoft stack. Along my journey, for source control I’ve used Visual SourceSafe (VSS), Team Foundation Server (TFS), and now Azure DevOps and GitHub. However, only within the last year have I begun to use Git. Having used TFS for a long time this is what I’ve been used to so switching to Git was somewhat of a paradigm shift. I knew Git was the new standard and had a lot of advantages, so I knew it was the right tool to use. As Jesse mentions in his book though, Git can be confusing especially with its many commands so I was having a hard time grasping what command to use when.

Jesse does an excellent job distilling all of Git down to the core of what you really need to know to be successful as a developer, not exclusively, but especially if you are in a team environment. He demystifies many Git commands and concepts, particularly ones that tend to frighten the most hardened of developers. Rebase anyone? He doesn’t dive into the depths of how Git does what it does. He stays near the surface, giving you the key pieces of information you need to get your job done. Which is exactly what I wanted from a very practical book on Git.

This is a great book that helps you get up to speed on the Git essentials quickly. He takes a very scenario-based approach, introducing you to common scenarios and guiding you through them, even walking you through how to get out of trouble should you find yourself making a wrong turn along the way.

He uses the CLI, Visual Studio and Git Desktop for his demonstrations. Though at times demonstrating in all three tools can seem tedious and unnecessary, I found it helpful. Usually, in his multi-developer scenarios, one developer would use the CLI while another would use Visual Studio for example. The same will be true on your teams. You will have developers that will tend to use one tool over the other so being familiar with each is helpful. Learning the commands in the CLI is super beneficial for every developer. And I highly recommend installing PrettyGit, which Jesse mentions and uses. I'd done that prior to reading the book and can attest that it is very helpful while working in the CLI.

I work in Visual Studio everyday, so I appreciated the fact he used Visual Studio. However, I have started using Visual Studio Code some and it would have been nice to have had demonstrations using it. However, I realize picking which tools to use in a book like this can be a hard decision to make. You can’t use them all otherwise the book would be a thousand pages long and hard to follow.

I enjoyed the Challenges at the end of every chapter. They were a great way to practice what you learned in the chapter and solidify the concepts. Learn by doing is always the best approach.

Thanks, Jesse, for a great book. You’ve helped this long-time developer, new to Git, become proficient in it and not be afraid of trying some of the more 'adventurous' commands :-). No matter your level of experience with Git, you will learn something new in this book. Highly recommended!

Almost a five star....

I really like this book and was excited to see a new title published the topic since GIT is the defacto standard in software development. The book addressees the topics and will be a good reference to keep in my Kindle library. The problem I have is the switching between command line, Visual Studio Code and Docker Desktop loses some of the continuity and flow the book otherwise has. For example, if the read prefers to uses the Mac/os or linux command line and Atom as an editor, it is silly to have search where to read next to skip over the other two methods. Sure, perhaps somedays I may be assigned to a project where VSC is used, but I would rather but a dedicated book that ignores the other two ways.

Overall, nice book from this author. I look forward to seeing more work from him as he is a valuable writer and instructor in the IT community.

Not worth the money

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2022

The author uses three interfaces: VS Code, Github Desktop, and Git CLI; to show some of the basic commands you'll often use with version control using git. Some of the CLI commands in the code examples aren't accurate (committing and adding a file in a single command), and some of the most interesting stuff doesn't even include CLI examples or is a mix of both GUI interface and CLI.

A book on the topic, preferably for advanced team-oriented practices, deserves to be published - but this book doesn't fit the bill, especially for the price-tag it's currently at.

I would suggest saving your money and using documentation or stackoverflow.

Terrible book.
Author has no idea how to teach.
Let me give you an example:
Author recommends to install shell for pretty looks. I don't want that, so I skipped it and used the original cmd. It turns out whenever nothing works unless you google yourself why you're getting an error with as simple as a command git status, it gives you an error if you don't use git init. The author does not mention this, he assumes you should know this, yet he mentioned he does not expect to know anything about git.
The list goes on, use git add name, guess what you get another error, good luck with you fixing this on your own.
The author does not expect you face these issues ? still on page 21,
Page 25 the author said click on staged, you look at his figure and there's no such a freaking button shown, where the heck is this button that I should click on
you want me to continue ...
Don't waste your money

To the point content, leads to efficiently learning

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021

The media could not be loaded.

I have used git in a team environment for about a year. I found this book very helpful. I am glad I discovered it. The topics covered are great, and are presented very well. The book is not very long, which means it focuses on the basics, and doesn't include a lot of distracting fluff. The author presents the material as though he is a very helpful, friendly, humble, collaborative co-worker. There are Challenges at the end of each chapter, with answers, which provide hands-on practice. Near the end of the book, there is a short, effective chapter on How To Fix Errors, such as, "committed to the wrong branch". I like the chapter on Workflow, and the inclusion in the book of Best Practices for Making Commits and How to Avoid Merge Conflicts. The author is an experienced git user and knows what the reader needs to learn. I like the book a lot and highly recommend it.

Gli argomenti sono trattati superficialmente e il modo in cui gli esempi sono riproposti contemporaneamente in tre modalità diverse GitHub, Visual Studio e linea di comando possono confondere. Consiglio altri testi ad esempio ProGit
