Git is currently the most widely used version control system in the world, mostly thanks to GitHub. Complex systems like Git become much easier to understand once you figure out how they really work. The goal of this guide is to shed some light on how Git works under the hood.

Pro Git Reedited

 Unless I’ve made a serious mistake in judgment, I think that Pro Git Reedited can replace Pro Git for online English readers. I’m not sure whether it’s worth translating Pro Git Reedited into other languages. In fact, I’d like to think of Pro Git Reedited as simply a collection of English-specific changes to Pro Git that can be ignored in other languages.
