Book Description:
Git is the most popular version control system in the world. It allows
developers to keep up with frequent code changes in a project, ensures
there are no code conflicts between the developers, and reverts to an
older version of code when required.

on advanced Git concepts in an engaging and straightforward way. This
book will help you gain expertise on Git with many practical use cases
as you progress through the chapters.
The book begins with a quick history of Git and instructions on how to
get it and install it, after which you'll dive into the creation and
cloning of your repository. As you progress through the book, you'll
explore Git places, branching, and GUIs.
Once you understand the fundamentals, you'll learn how to handle merge
conflicts, rebase, amend, interactive rebase, and use the log. You'll
also explore important Git commands for managing your repository.
Finally, the book concludes with coverage of bisect, blame, and several
other problem handling techniques.
By the end of this book, you'll be able to use Git with confidence;
saving, sharing, and managing files as well as undoing mistakes and
rewriting history.
