Summary

This book explains how to use Git from command line on Windows, Mac OS and Linux
 
Small startups and big companies use Git in their workflows:
 
- to deploy projects
 
- to collaborate
 
- to find and fix bugs
 
- to backup code
 
There is simply no way around it if you are a Software Developer.
 
The problem is it can be very confusing.
 
- Git has many commands each with its own set of options.
 
- Commands can behave differently depending on their options.
 
- The command line interface has no visual guidance.
 
- You have to use your imagination to understand what is going on.
 
- The concepts used by Git: diff, staging, commits, branches, remotes, etc.
 
- It is not always clear what they mean and how they work.
 
If you get stuck with Git and search for help – you’ll find two kinds of resources:
 
- Specific recipes that you have to follow blindly
 
- Reference manuals full of complex terminology and technical details
 
This book is different
 
It is a guide that will help you understand how Git works.
 
It is designed to give you the necessary knowledge to get started without overwhelming you with too much information.
 
Key Features
 
Mental Models – analogies and visualizations to help you understand how Git works.
 
Illustrations – the book has illustrations that will help you understand the concepts better and make them more memorable.
 
Exercises – each chapter has exercises that will help you understand and remember the concepts better. They will also help you develop the muscle memory for the commands.
 
Example Repositories – most exercises have example repositories that you can use to experiment with Git. This will be very useful even after you finish the book. You will be able to use them as testing grounds if you got stuck with a problem in your project.
 
How This Book Helps

    Floating Gold - A Natural (&...

    A fascinating natural history of an incredibly curious substance. “Preternaturally hardened whale dung” is not the first image that comes to mind when we think of perfume, otherwise a symbol of glamour and allure. But the key ingredient that makes the sophisticated scent linger on the skin is precisely this bizarre digestive by-product—ambergris. Despite being one of the world’s most expensive substances (its value is nearly that of gold and has at times in history been triple it), ambergris is also one of the world’s least known. But with this unusual and highly alluring book, Christopher Kemp promises to change that by uncovering the unique history of ambergris. A rare secretion produced only by sperm whales, which have a fondness for squid but an inability to digest their beaks, ambergris is expelled at sea and floats on ocean currents for years, slowly transforming, before it sometimes washes ashore looking like a nondescript waxy pebble. It can appear almost anywhere but is found so rarely, it might as well appear nowhere. Kemp’s journey begins with an encounter on a New Zealand beach with a giant lump of faux ambergris—determined after much excitement to nothing more exotic than lard—that inspires a comprehensive quest to seek out ambergris and its story. He takes us from the wild, rocky New Zealand coastline to Stewart Island, a remote, windswept island in the southern seas, to Boston and Cape Cod, and back again. Along the way, he tracks down the secretive collectors and traders who populate the clandestine modern-day ambergris trade.Floating Gold is an entertaining and lively history that covers not only these precious gray lumps and those who covet them, but presents a highly informative account of the natural history of whales, squid, ocean ecology, and even a history of the perfume industry. Kemp’s obsessive curiosity is infectious, and eager readers will feel as though they have stumbled upon a precious bounty of this intriguing substance.

    Over the last century, the search for human ancestors has spanned four continents and resulted in the discovery of hundreds of fossils. While most of these discoveries live quietly in museums, there are a few that have become world-renowned celebrity personas. In Seven Skeletons, historian of science Lydia Pyne explores how seven such famous fossils of our ancestors have the social cachet they enjoy today.Drawing from archives, museums, and interviews, Pyne builds a cultural history for each celebrity fossil. These seven include the three-foot tall "hobbit" from Flores, the Neanderthal of La Chapelle, the Taung Child, the Piltdown Man hoax, Peking Man, Australopithecus sediba, and Lucy-all vivid examples of how discoveries of our ancestors have been received, remembered, and immortalized. With wit and insight, Pyne brings to life each fossil: how it is described, put on display, and shared among scientific communities and the broader public. This fascinating, endlessly entertaining book puts the impact of paleoanthropology into new context, a reminder of how our past as a species continues to affect, in astounding ways, our present culture and imagination.
