This book is for anyone who wants to learn the basics of how Git works. It is especially designed for individuals that are just getting started learning technical skills, or that work in nontechnical roles but need to use Git to collaborate with their technical counterparts.
Some examples of individuals that may benefit from this book include (but are not limited to) coding bootcamp students, computer science students, technical writers, product managers, designers, junior developers, data scientists, and self-taught programmers.
The book is written for people with no experience using Git, as well as those with a bit of experience using Git. If you have no experience with Git, that’s not a problem since this book starts from zero.
We’ll begin with installing Git and how to use the command line, and build from there. If you already have some experience using Git or the command line, the first chapter may be a bit of review.
However, I encourage you not to skip it because it sets up the Rainbow project that you will be using throughout the rest of the book.
