Beginning Git Version Control
Beginning Git Version Control
Essential tips & tricks you need to get Git up and running.
About the Book
In this book, we will go through the basic concept of Git version control.
Git is getting more and more powerful. It means more and more commands for us to control every little detail of code changes. That’s good. But as a new learner, I trim the content to provide only the essential concepts and the best practices.
For example, I recommend `git fetch` + `git merge` always instead of `git pull`. You’ll learn all these commands in elsewhere, but in this book, I tell the _why_ and their pros and cons. (In chapter 5)
