DESCRIPTION
This book teaches Git in a simple, visual, and tangible manner so that you can build a solid mental model of how Git version control works. Through the use of color, storytelling, and hands-on exercises, you will learn to use this tool with confidence.

• Download Git and initialize a local repository
• Add files to the staging area and make commits
• Create, switch, and delete branches
• Merge and rebase branches
• Work with remote repositories including cloning, pushing, pulling, and fetching
