Pro Git 2nd Edition

Without a doubt, Pro Git is one of the best books about the git version control system. Most recently, the second edition of this wonderful book has appeared. Big changes occurred in the publishing process: the source code of the book is now stored in AsciiDoc , not in Markdown, and various formats ( PDF , ePub and Mobi ) are automatically generated using the O'Reilly Atlas platform . The book is being actively developed on a githaba, the current online version is publicly available on the official website, and print lovers can order a copy on Amazon. The second edition was almost twice the size of the first: today the PDF version contains 570 pages. In addition to improving the old material, the book has also been updated with new chapters and sections:
