The book is free or can be purchased and explains both git and Mercurial with similar examples. We use it at our office to get novices up to speed on source control.
- alexholehouse 15y agoIt was available in paperback for free a few months ago too (may still be, not sure). I got it, for free, in Europe. From the states. I have no idea how that works financially, but it's a great book on a number of levels and Eric has my utmost respect because of it.
- sequoia 15y agoThanks for the tip! I just ordered one. There's a lead-gen form you fill out in exchange, but if the book's legit, that's a reasonable price.
- nhebb 15y agoThis is such a great book. No fluff, just straightforward examples of how to do basic version control. Plus, Eric is a good writer. (Actually, anyone who can take a dull topic like version control and make it entertaining probably qualifies as a great writer.)
