Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Pro Git, Second Edition
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.
How To Generate the Book
You can generate the e-book files manually with Asciidoctor. We used to be able to build .mobi files (Kindle), but cannot do so now, see #1496 for more information. If you run the following you may actually get HTML, Epub 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 PDF... -- PDF output at progit.pdf
