How Git Works

Rate this book
If you’re still perplexed by git even though you’ve been using it for years, this zine is for you!

This zine explains git’s core concepts (commits! branches! merging! remotes!) with minimal jargon and a focus on the actual problems that can ruin your day. What does fast-forward failed mean? What’s “detached HEAD state” and what are you supposed to do about it? Why do commits sometimes get lost, and how can you get them back?

Es una referencia un poco má amplia, bonita y entretenida para aprender o comprender mejor los básicos de GIT y no confundirte con lo que los conceptos significan. Creo que a este zine le faltó algo del buen estilo de Julia, pero sigue siendo una muy buena lectura super corta para profesionales.
