“Head First Git is a gem. The book is a clear, fun, and engaging introduction to a very powerful and complex tool. The
pace, scope, and structure make it approachable while providing readers a solid foundation from which to continue
their journey learning Git.”
—Matt Cordial, staff software engineer, Experian Decision Analytics
“Software developers depend on their tools to get the job done, but that often means we work with just enough
knowledge to be dangerous. And while the basics of Git can be understood in a few hours, the nuance, the power, the
depth can take years to master. Seemingly every page of Head First Git contains a nugget or explanation of something
you only thought you understood. Regardless of your experience level with Git, Raju will make you better at using this
invaluable tool.”
—Nate Schutta, architect and developer advocate at VMware and author of
Thinking Architecturally and Responsible Microservices
“Version control is hard. Explaining version control is harder. Head First Git reforms dry, difficult, highly technical
information into an enjoyable and playful story that not only makes learning fun but also very effective. Author Raju
Gandhi is sure to delight your neurons with amazing analogies, characters, and adventures in glamping. If you are a
first-time Git user, this book will be one you’ll want to git checkout.”

“I wish this book existed a decade ago when I first started using Git extensively. The book’s conversational style, along
with real-world analogies for common Git concepts, will make this a fun read. Regardless of your level of experience,
you’ll enjoy reading this book and will learn something new about Git.”
