Welcome to the second edition of the Pro Git book.
You can find this book online at: https://git-scm.com/book
Like the first edition, the second edition of Pro Git is open source under a Creative Commons license.
A couple of things have changed since open sourcing the first edition. For one, we’ve moved from Markdown to the amazing AsciiDoc format for the text of the book; here’s an AsciiDoc quick reference.
We’ve also moved to keeping the translations in separate repositories rather than subdirectories of the English repository. See the translating document for more information.
You can generate the e-book files manually with Asciidoctor. If you run the following you may actually get HTML, Epub, Mobi and PDF output files:
$ bundle install $ bundle exec rake book:build Converting to HTML... -- HTML output at progit.html Converting to EPub... -- Epub output at progit.epub Converting to Mobi (kf8)... -- Mobi output at progit.mobi Converting to PDF... -- PDF output at progit.pdf
