Preface

Audience

While some familiarity with revision control systems will be good background material, a reader who is not familiar with any other system will still be able to learn enough about basic Git operations to be productive in a short while. More advanced readers should be able to gain insight into some of Git’s internal design and thus master some of its more powerful techniques.

The main intended audience for this book should be familiar and comfortable with the Unix shell, basic shell commands, and general programming concepts.
