We are considering moving off of Subversion for version control and so
I have been investigating more modern DVCS tools such as Mercurial and
git. I use Mercurial for all of my personal projects, and feel fairly
comfortable with its basic work-flow. I wanted to pick up a book on
git, and the number one recommendation when I asked on Twitter was
Pro Git by Scott Chacon.
Quick Review
Inspired by Gene Ambaum and Bill Barnes' review short-cuts, here's my
review for the impatient reader:
Why I picked it up: I needed to learn more about git to decide if
it was the right tool for us and how it would fit into our
work-flow.
Why I finished it: Chacon's writing is clear and engaging. He
covered all of the tips for using git that I wanted and then
included some implementation details that are useful for
understanding DVCS theory, but not absolutely necessary for using
git.
I'd give it to: A developer learning or evaluating git, or
researching DVCS tools in general.
