Practical Git and GitHub
Real-world examples of solutions for problems that occurred during day to day Git/GitHub usage.
About the Book
This book contains the Git and GitHub related blog posts posted on Dinis Cruz’ blog at http://blog.diniscruz.com.
This is the fist draft release of this book, so please send your suggestions, criticisms, ideas or comments to dinis.cruz@owasp.org
Notes about current structure: At the moment, the chapter order is the one created by the original ‘import from blogger’ (i.e. by publish order). A better idea might be to create logical groups, so that the posts are ordered based on some user-friendly criteria (still to be defined)
