Chances are if you’re involved with software development you’ve heard of and have used Git at some point in your life. Version control systems are critical for any successful collaborative software project. Git is both simple to start using and accommodating for the most complex tasks with version control. Even seasoned Git users hit roadblocks on how to handle common situations.
Advanced Git is here to help! This book is the easiest and fastest way to get hands-on experience with using Git for version control of your projects.
Take a deep dive into:
- How Git actually works: After using Git for a while it’s good to discover the whys behind all of the things.
- Rebasing: Rebasing and squashing doesn’t have to be scary; it’s quite a useful and advanced way of merging code to support your collaborative workflow.
- Undoing what you’ve done: Most frustration with Git comes from not being able to undo something that you’ve screwed up. But Git has lots of ways you can go back and recover from a weird merge or commit state.
- Workflows in Git: Working with Git requires some rules to make sure things go smoothly across development teams. Learn the most common workflows and how to decide which one to use.
- And more!
One thing you can count on: after reading this book, you’ll be well-prepared to use Git in your own software development workflow!
Before You Begin
This section tells you a few things you need to know before you get started, such as what you’ll need for hardware and software, where to find the project files for this book, and more.
Section I: Advanced Git
This section dives into the inner workings of Git, what particular Git operations actually do, and will walk you through some interesting problem-solving scenarios when Git gets cranky. You’ll build up some mental models to understand what’s going on when Git complains about things to help you solve similar issues on your own in the future.
Section II: Git Workflows
Now that you understand how Git works and how to use some of the advanced features, you need to learn how to incorporate Git into your software development lifecycle. There are established best practices and several formal Git workflows out there.
Those formal Git workflows, well, they’re all good, and in some cases, they’re all bad. It depends what you want to accomplish in your repo, and how your own team works. GitFlow is one of the most popular branching strategies, but there are alternative models that work well in many situations. This section will introduce you to these workflows and branching models, and explain what problems they solve and what problems they create.
