Review
"Head First Git is a gem. The book is a clear, fun, and engaging introduction to a very powerful and complex tool. The pace, scope, and structure make it approachable while providing readers a solid foundation from which to continue their journey learning Git." -Matt Cordial, staff software engineer, Experian Decision Analytics
"Software developers depend on their tools to get the job done, but that often means we work with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. And while the basics of Git can be understood in a few hours, the nuance, the power, the depth can take years to master. Seemingly every page of Head First Git contains a nugget or explanation of something you only thought you understood. Regardless of your experience level with Git, Raju will make you better at using this invaluable tool." -Nate Schutta, architect and developer advocate at VMware and author of Thinking Architecturally and Responsible Microservices
"Version control is hard. Explaining version control is harder. Head First Git reforms dry, difficult, highly technical information into an enjoyable and playful story that not only makes learning fun but also very effective. Author Raju Gandhi is sure to delight your neurons with amazing analogies, characters, and adventures in glamping. If you are a first-time Git user, this book will be one you'll want to git checkout." -Daniel Hinojosa, self-employed programmer, speaker, and instructor at EvolutionNext.com
