Hello,
I'm searching for books about Git and found the following ones:
1. "Pragmatic Version Control Using Git"
<http://www.pragprog.com/titles/tsgit/pragmatic-version-control-using-git>
2. "Git Internals"
<http://peepcode.com/products/git-internals-pdf>

Unfortunately I could not find out, whether the "undoing" of Git Actions is fully covered in those (in my mind this belongs to everyday actions).

I'm thinking of
* undoing git add / rm / mv
* undoing local changes
* undoing committed changes

which I found less intuitive looking at the Git commands ('git reset', 'git revert' might not do what a beginner expects or multiple actions might be necessary).

If somebody of you owns a copy of the above mentioned books could you please kindly let me know whether the topics are covered in detail?

I would also appreciate review comments or hints to other books, if you have any.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Guido

Read the whole thread, see it on lore, or plain text.
