Chances are that if you’re involved with software development you’ve heard of and have used Git at some point in your life. Version control systems are critical for any successful collaborative software project. Git is both simple to start using and is accommodating for the most complex tasks with version control. Even seasoned Git users hit roadblocks on how to handle common situations.
Mastering Git is here to help! This book is the easiest and fastest way to get hands-on experience with using Git for version control of your projects.
In our book Mastering Git, you’ll learn everything you need to know about Git internals and commands, and discover things you didn’t quite understand about Git, even if you’ve used Git for a long time!

What’s New in This Release?
The first edition of Mastering Git is now 100% complete and includes five new chapters to make you a pro at using Git in your own software development workflow!
- [NEW] Chapter 1: A Crash Course in Git: Learn how to get started with Git, the differences between platforms, and a quick overview of the typical Git workflow.
- [NEW] Chapter 19: Feature Branch Workflow: Create new features in your code and then merged to master when they’re done using feature branches.
- [NEW] Chapter 20: Gitflow Workflow: Gitflow is a popular method to manage your team’s development workflow. Learn the plugins for IDEs that support this Git workflow.
- [NEW] Chapter 21: Forking Workflow: Not all teams have to work out of a single online repository with local clones. Learn to make each contributor work out of their own fork can be quite advantageous when you work at the scale of open-source projects.
