A very clear introduction to GitHub with a good index. It helped me how to understand GitHub features and revise my existing workflow. Easy, follow along directions in each chapter. Highly recommended for new developers.

This is the book that can help you do your job with GitHub. GitHub is more than just a free online storage place for ur repo. There are many new features that you don’t see enough demos anywhere else. Honestly, GitHub itself doesn’t do a good job promoting them.
