The book is written for people with no experience using Git, as well as those with a bit of experience using Git. If you have no experience with Git, that’s not a problem since this book starts from zero. We’ll begin with installing Git and how to use the command line, and build from there.
If you already have some experience using Git or the command line, the first chapter may be a bit of review. However, I encourage you not to skip it because it sets up the Rainbow project that you will be using throughout the rest of the book.
Using This Book
This book is a hands-on learning experience, where you will be carrying out exercises on your computer while learning the basic concepts of Git. Throughout the book, you will come across two projects: the Rainbow project and the Book project.
The Rainbow project is a hands-on project that you will work on by going through the exercises in the book. It is a simplified project that is intended only for learning purposes. The Book project is an imaginary project that I’ll use to demonstrate how certain features of Git might be used for a more realistic project. Let’s take a closer look at each of these, and at the way the book is structured.
[ NOTE ] Don’t worry if this preface contains terminology that you are not yet familiar with, like repository and commit. I’ll explain all of these concepts in the chapters to come.
