Head First Git

Git is the hot new version control system that everyone is using these days, but it's fundamentally different from its predecessors in many ways, which tends to trip up people who are coming from Subversion or CVS. Head First Git will take you from being a git newbie to a git master, composing your tools with ease and flexibility. Once you know how to use git effectively, it will fade into the background, seamlessly and invisibly helping you to work smoothly with others and keep track of the true intent of your project's evolution. This book is unique in that in introduces the fundamental concepts of git in a way that is simple, understandable and, above all, visual. Git is a tool that is best explained with diagrams, and most books and tutorials miss this important point.
