Review: Excellent book. I never used git now I think I can - Well written and the author is correct. The side by side is the best in this situation. I think I can tackle the mysterious and elusive G I T monster. I look at git now, like I used to look at ajax. Everyone talked about how hard it was, etc. but its not. Just read this book and you'll be dangerous with git. I am going to do a "checkout" of my first library (Three20) and see how it goes. Good book, well written. Author has made git accessible to everyone in a very short form. Excellent job. Kudos.
Review: A first-recourse for git questions - If one is learning to use git, the two things one needs are a clear idea of the data model git uses, and examples relating to both "normal use" and "special case" situations. This book covers the first of these implicitly, by example. This might not be enough, but I can't really comment since I already learned the data model from "Pro Git" (an excellent resource) and "Version Control with Git" (which has decent coverage of the data model). This is primarily a book of examples, and these are excellent: well chosen, clearly and concisely described with useful variations and cross-references. One can read the book, or sections thereof, and quickly gain an understanding of normal usage and work flow. Since it's organized by task, one can also use the table of contents to quickly look up any common functionality and a number of advanced usages. It's the sort of book that becomes a first recourse when one has a question -- it's a faster and more reliable way to get answers about git than online docs or Google, at least until one starts asking more obscure questions. I currently make regular use of the book when I need quick reminders of features I haven't used very much.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book. I never used git now I think I can

Well written and the author is correct. The side by side is the best in this situation. I think I can tackle the mysterious and elusive G I T monster. I look at git now, like I used to look at ajax.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As Advertised
*by S***K on August 29, 2013*

This book is pretty much what the title says: a pragmatic guide to understanding and using Git. There is just enough background that you can understand what to do if you have used a VCS before. The 2 page format makes it an excellent reference, and it is also a good book to read straight through. You are likely to want another book to go deeper at some point, but this book will retain a place on your desk as a practical reference.
