before start
This section tells you a few things you need to know before you start, such as what you will need for your hardware and software, and where to find the project files for this book.
Section I: Getting Started with Git
This section is intended to familiarize new users with Git. It introduces the basic concepts that are the core of Git, how it differs from other version control systems, and the basic operations of Git such as commits, merging, and pooling.

One
It’s common to start by making a copy of someone else’s repository. Learn how to clone a remote repository to your local machine and configure a repository “fork”.
2
A Git repository consists of a series of commits. Each commit represents the state of your code at a specific point in time. Learn how to create these commits to keep track of changes to your code.
three
You must use the “add” command before creating a Git commit. What does it do? Learn how to maximize the effectiveness of using staging areas with the interactive git add command.
4
Sometimes you have something you don’t want to store in your source code repository.
5
It makes little sense to make a good record of the source code if you can’t explore it. You will discover a variety of git log commands, such as branching, displaying graphs, filtering records, and more.
6
The true power of Git comes from its branching and merging model. This allows you to perform multiple tasks at the same time. Learn how to manage branches in this chapter and what exactly a branch is.
7
A branch in Git without merging would be like basketball without a basketball. It’s fun, but it makes little sense. In this chapter, you will learn how to use merge to combine operations from multiple branches back into one.
8
I’ve been working hard on a local copy of my Git repository and now I want to share it with my friends. See how to share using a remote control and how to use multiple remotes at the same time.
9
To start a new project and use Git for source control, you must first create a new repository.
