Learn Version Control with Git: A step-by-step course for the complete beginner
You won't find a top programmer, web developer, or web designer who doesn't use version control. Because it helps you produce better results and makes collaboration easy.
Git is one of those version control systems - but not just any: Top projects like the Linux Kernel, Ruby On Rails, or jQuery use Git as their version control system of choice. Around the world, in teams large and small, Git is an essential part of the tool chain.
"Learn Version Control with Git" is a beginner-friendly step-by-step course. The book doesn't require a deep technical background. Instead, it's aimed at beginners of version control and/or programming, designers, and project managers.
Basic topics - from installing Git to a "Command Line 101" - are covered, not expected. While learning all the key features such as Branching and Merging, the book will also explain advanced topics as well as tools and services. Accompanying charts & graphics make it easy to understand even complex facts and workflows.
Version control is an essential tool if you want to be successful in today's web & software world. This book will help you master it with ease.

About the author
Tobias Günther
5 books6 followersTobias Günther has been an entrepreneur and a CEO for almost 20 years. During this time, he started four companies, made two of them profitable and successfully sold his last one — after growing it to over 100,000 customers in companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon before it was acquired in 2021.
In 2010, he started introducing remote work, long before it became fashionable. But what’s most important to him is that he managed to build teams with an exceptional culture — and full of wonderful people.
In recent years, he focused on helping other founders and leaders build world-class teams. He has now distilled his experience in a book titled ”Building Better Teams”, a hands-on manual for building teams that are not only more productive and successful — but also healthier and more resilient.

Very basic stuff, can be read in an hour or so. It's all very nicely explained.
Still, after reading this book you'll be able to learn basic stuff, which in 99% cases is enough for a programmer.
