Practical Git: Confident Git Through Practice

by Johan Abildskov

Practice your Git skills using exercises in your own environment. This book introduces concepts in an abstract visual way, and then enforces this learning through exercises - the Git katas. You will start with basic interactions such as commits and branches, and move on to both internals and collaborative workflows. Best practices are introduced and rehearsed throughout with hands-on exercises. Each topic is supplemented with interactive Git exercises that can be solved using any Git client – either the ubiquituous CLI or one of the many graphical clients so you'll learn in the environment you work in. The importance of Git is hard to overstate – it is used by 90% of software engineers worldwide and is the de facto standard for version control. Honing your Git skills is guaranteed to make you a better and more efficient developer. Building software can be stressful, but it doesn’t need to be. Practical Git will give you the Git skills you need, and help keep your Git skills sharp. Add it to your library today. What You'll Learn Who This Book Is For Anyone who is currently using Git in a copy-paste fashion. It will take you from using Git to knowing Git.

Its the book I wished I read when I first started using git.
The book is best enjoyed with a git equipped computer as the companion code and exercises are what makes thing stick.
