If you're not careful it's easy to have git history that:

is complicated to reason about,
hides work done (or work removed),
contains erroneous commits, or worse, loses commits.

There are many many git horror stories. Lost work, lost time and lost hair.

This book details simple strategies to have a sane git experience, catch mistakes early and learn how to do git the right way.
