Abstract

This chapter is about getting started with Git. We’ll begin at the beginning by presenting some background about n version-control tools, then move on to how you get Git running on your system, and finally explain how to set it up so you can start working with Git. At the end of this chapter, you should understand why Git exists and why you should use it, and you should be ready to do so.
