Need to use git, and totally lost? This is the book.
I had never used git before, but the situation arose where I needed to learn and use it. I was very confused and didn't know what I was doing, or why I was entering the few commands I had been told to use.Enter this book. It is SHORT and to the point. It provides CLEAR examples, followed by a brief explanation of why you did what you just did. All examples are presented via the CLI and GUI mode. I was only concerned with the latter, which shortened the book further.If you need a short and to the point book to pick up the basics of Git in a VERY short period of time, this is IT.

If you need to get up and running quickly with Git ...
If you need to get up and running quickly with Git, this is the book for you. After explaining in general terms the history, uses and variations of Version Control Systems like Git, the author pretty much holds your hand step by step to set up a local Git repository, set up a remote private repository using a free online service and how to use Git to collaborate with multiple programmers.This book will not give you a deep understanding of Git (there are other books available to do that) but it will give you enough information to get going in an easy and fun manner. I highly recommend this book if you're completely new to Version Control Systems and Git.

Good introduction for beginners but others will probably be disappointed
If you're not familiar with using a version control system and you're primarily working on MS-Windows this book is for you (and deserves at least one extra star in that case). But if you have any experience or will be working on a UNIX based OS such as Linux or Mac OS X you'll probably find "Pro Git" more satisfying.

Very good, very fun
This book gave me the feeling I get when I am enjoying a movie and it finishes sooner that I expected.Do not expect to know everything about Git from this book. This is a beginner's guide. and a great one indeed. It got me up and going at no time. I ordered a pro git book after this and it turned out to be a perfect combination for me.I highly recommend this book. I had absolutely no idea about Git / Github and I am very happy that I have started with this book.

Don't waster your time downloading the example files
The publisher demands you register, look at their products, and offers to sell you various services. Then you get an email with code for Chapter 5 alone.I just downloaded the book, so it is too early to make a considered judgement. But the misleading link at the beginning of the book does not bode well.

Good introduction
Good introduction to using Git, especially installation and very basic usage. Unfortunately it uses bitbucket instead of Github as a host. It would be nice to have a section on Github, which has many more users, and is pretty much the default.

Great for beginners
If this is the first time using git, then this is a great starting point.It focus a lot on useful GUI tools (for Windows, Mac, and Linux), and just the bare-essentials on CLI (command line interface).

Don't waste your time
This book is poorly written and difficult to understand. If you are interested in getting up to speed with GIT quickly, I recommend this site:[...]
