It is a highly readable introduction to git with lots \nof examples of how to get things done. \"As Arthur C. Clarke observed, any \nsufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. This is \na great way to approach Git: newbies can ignore its inner workings and \nview Git as a gizmo that can amaze friends and infuriate enemies with its \nwondrous abilities. Rather than go into details, we provide rough \ninstructions for particular effects. After repeated use, gradually you \nwill understand how each trick works, and how to tailor the recipes for \nyour needs.\"\n"}]}
