Description: Version Control with Git takes you step-by-step through ways to track, merge, and manage software projects, using this highly flexible open-source version control system. Git permits practically an infinite variety of methods for development and collaboration, but its flexibility also means that some users don't understand how to use it to best advantage. This book offers tutorials on ways to use it, as well as friendly yet rigorous advice to help you navigate Git's many functions.
