You can't succeed in the modern tech industry without understanding Git workflows. Thankfully, now there's a guide that makes Git genuinely accessible-and this is it. It's wonderful to see the power of Git expressed in clear, straightforward terms. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who works in technology.

Even if you're very comfortable working with code, Git is a concept that can take a few days just to get used to. In Git for Humans, David's easygoing tone reduces the learning curve. He explains the ins and outs of Git (and the command line) in a swift and comprehensive read. If you haven't used Git (or if you have), this book is essential to really understanding it.
