Description

The goal of this book is to get you started with version control and Git as quickly and easily as possible. Unlike other books about this topic, this one doesn’t require a master’s degree in computer science to read it. It’s aimed at beginners of programming, at designers, at project managers… It tries not to require too much prior knowledge on the technical side. It tries to go slowly.

That being said, Git and version control in general remain highly technical topics. I can’t spare you all of this, but I’ll try to explain workflows & backgrounds thoroughly and provide a lot of real-world examples.

Description

This pocket guide is the perfect on-the-job companion to Git, the distributed version control system. It provides a compact, readable introduction to Git for new users, as well as a reference to common commands and procedures for those of you with Git experience.

The guide is organized around the basic version control functions you need, such as making commits, fixing mistakes, merging, and searching history.

• Examine the state of your project at earlier points in time
• Learn the basics of creating and making changes to a repository
• Create branches so many people can work on a project simultaneously
• Merge branches and reconcile the changes among them
• Clone an existing repository and share changes with push/pull commands
• Examine and change your repository’s commit history
• Access remote repositories, using different network protocols
• Get recipes for accomplishing a variety of common tasks

Description

Git is a version control Swiss army knife. A reliable versatile multipurpose revision control tool whose extraordinary flexibility makes it tricky to learn, let alone master.

As Arthur C. Clarke observed, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. This is a great way to approach Git: newbies can ignore its inner workings and view Git as a gizmo that can amaze friends and infuriate enemies with its wondrous abilities.

Rather than go into details, we provide rough instructions for particular effects. After repeated use, gradually you will understand how each trick works, and how to tailor the recipes for your needs.

Git In The Trenches, or GITT is designed to be a book that focusses on teaching people to use Git by associating with scenarios that are experienced by a fictional company called Tamagoyaki Inc. Through reading about their day to day lives, the reader will learn not only how to use Git, but why version control systems are important and how to implement them within an organization.

A Haker’s Guide to Git explains some of Git’s core concepts including basic object storage, commits, branches and tags. It also contains in-depth explanations about the different kinds of merging in Git, including the much-feared rebase.

The contents of the book:

• Introduction
• Repositories – a starting point to understand what is stored in a Git repository: Blobs, Tree objects, Commit objects, Tag objects, and References
• Tree Objects – contains a list of blobs (files) and other tree objects (sub-directories)
• Commits – see a commit object in action
• References – a file stored somewhere in .git/refs, containing the hash of a commit object
• Branches – brief coverage of what is one of Git’s strongest features
• Tags – two types of tags in Git — lightweight tags and annotated tags
• Merging – the process of joining two histories (usually branches) together
• Rebasing – understand what rebasing does
• Cherry-Picking
• Rebasing (Continued)
• Remotes: Cloning, Pushing, Remote-Tracking Branches, Fetching, Pulling
• Toolkit: git-reflog, git-fsck, git-stash, git-describe, git-rev-parse, and git-bisect

Description

The entire Pro Git book.

Git is a distributed revision control system with an emphasis on speed,data integrity,and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development in 2005, and has since become the most widely adopted version control system for software development.

As with most other distributed revision control systems, and unlike most client–server systems, every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking capabilities, independent of network access or a central server. Like the Linux kernel, Git is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.

 This reference manual documents the Apache HTTP server, the most widely used web server on the internet, serving hundreds of millions of sites.

This manual is a printed edition of the official Apache reference documentation from the Apache 2.2.17 distribution.

It documents all the modules and configuration directives in the standard Apache 2 distribution, and describes how to set up, administer and debug Apache servers. It also includes extensive how-to guides for mod_rewrite, virtual hosting, authentication, security, and many other topics.

Description

What is HTML5? is a concise introduction into the differences between legacy HTML standards and the latest standard, HTML5.

This short book takes a look at HTML5 and offers a simple proposition with a lot of complex consequences: HTML5 is both something entirely new, and yet nothing more than HTML was ever intended to be; and that once the reader really understands HTML5, he or she changes the way they code and even think about the web and their own web applications.

HTML5: Everyone’s using it, nobody knows what it is. I realize that sounds more like a line out of an existential movie — maybe Waiting for Godot or a screenplay by Sartre — than a statement about HTML5. But it’s really the truth: most of the people using HTML5 are treating it as HTML4+, or even worse, HTML4 (and some stuff they don’t use). The result? A real delay in the paradigm shift that HTML5 is almost certain to bring. It’s certainly not time to look away, because by the time you look back, you may have missed something really important: a subtle but important transition centered around HTML5.
