Sebastopol, CA—Created by Linus Torvalds to manage development of the Linux kernel, Git has become the principal tool for distributed version control. Git permits an infinite variety of methods for development and collaboration, but its flexibility also means that some users don't understand how to use it to their best advantage. In Version Control with Git (O'Reilly, US $34.99), author Jon Loeliger takes readers step-by-step through ways to track, merge, and manage software projects using this highly flexible, open source version control system.

- Understand how to use Git for both centralized and distributed version control
