Gitting Things Done: A Visual and Practical Guide to Git

Git is awesome.

Most software developers use Git on a daily basis. But how many truly understand Git? Do you know what happens when you use git commit ? What is stored between commits? Is it just a diff between the current and previous commit? If so, how is the diff encoded? Or is an entire snapshot of the repository stored each time?

Understanding how Git actually works is useful in many scenarios-whether resolving merge conflicts, looking to conduct an interesting rebase, or even just when something goes slightly wrong.

By reading this book, you will gain a new perspective of Git. You will feel confident when working with Git, and you will understand Git's underlying mechanisms, at least those that are useful to understand. You will Git it. You will be Gitting things done.
