Git
Git is a distributed version-control system that records changes to files and supports managing project history and collaboration across repositories.
Automating API Delivery
Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes to files and coordinating collaborative software development.
- How it is used
- Positions Git as shared, auditable storage for API definitions and configuration within APIOps governance and deployment.
- How deep it goes
- Explains repository choice, pull-request reviews, change history, and CI/CD integration, but provides no Git commands or configuration.
- Examples
- Illustrates a dedicated OpenAPI repository, pull-request checks, and design tools that retrieve or update definitions there.
- What you can do after
- Apply it via a Git repository and pull requests to review OpenAPI changes and run automated compliance checks.
Road to Kubernetes
Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes to files and coordinating software development.
- How it is used
- Tracks and shares application changes as the starting point for manual deployment and later automation.
- How deep it goes
- Works through installation checks, repository initialization, and status; identifies branches but leaves branching beyond scope.
- Examples
- Uses separate Python and Node.js repositories, `git status` output, and Git installation on a cloud VM.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure it to initialize local application repositories, inspect file status, and prepare code for sharing and deployment.
Learn PowerShell Scripting in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition: Write and organize scripts and tools
Git is a distributed version-control system for tracking and managing changes to files and coordinating work on software projects.
- How it is used
- Supports professional PowerShell project maintenance, local change tracking, distributed collaboration, and community contribution.
- How deep it goes
- Explains installation, configuration, repositories, commits, rollback, branching, merging, and GitHub synchronization through command-line demonstrations.
- Examples
- Demonstrates MyPSTool, PowerShell script files, data.txt, devdata.txt, commit history, rollback, branch merging, and GitHub remotes.
- What you can do after
- Operate Git from PowerShell to track files, create checkpoints, isolate changes, undo commits, merge branches, and synchronize GitHub repositories.
Practical Automation with PowerShell: Effective scripting from the console to the cloud
Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes to files and coordinating work across repositories.
- How it is used
- Supports publishing shared PowerShell modules and cloning them onto team machines.
- How deep it goes
- Walks through installation, configuration, initialization, staging, committing, remote setup, pushing, and executable checks.
- Examples
- Uses a Git installer, a PoshAutomator module repository, and a cross-platform module installation script.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure it to install Git, configure defaults, publish module files, and sync them from GitHub.
AI for Everyday IT
Git is a distributed version control system that records changes to files and supports branching and collaboration.
- How it is used
- Uses Git to give AI assistants reliable working examples when debugging persistent implementation failures.
- How deep it goes
- Demonstrates a three-step branch workflow and stops short of explaining Git internals or general command syntax.
- Examples
- Uses a broken authentication change, a working branch, and prompts for analysis and reimplementation.
- What you can do after
- Diagnose persistent bugs by comparing broken work with a known-working branch through an AI assistant.
Shipping Go: Develop, deliver, discuss, design, and go again
Git is a distributed version-control system for tracking changes to files and coordinating software development.
- How it is used
- Supports continuous integration by storing source, testing, and infrastructure code near the pipeline.
- How deep it goes
- Explains repository purpose and initial setup, but stops short of broader Git workflows or version-control internals.
- Examples
- Uses a GitHub hello-api repository, Git initialization commands, a remote URL, and a Go-oriented .gitignore setup.
- What you can do after
- Operate Git by creating a GitHub repository, initializing a local directory, and connecting the directory to a remote.

100 SQL Server Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Git is an open-source distributed version control system for tracking changes to files and coordinating software development.
- How it is used
- Protects database code, coordinates parallel development, preserves history, and supports rollback.
- How deep it goes
- Explains repository creation, GitHub configuration, branching, conflicts, and rollback without detailing command-line operations.
- Examples
- Uses the unrecoverable MagicChoc code scenario and a Visual Studio workflow for creating, configuring, branching, and committing a repository.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure Git repositories, create branches, manage conflicts, preserve history, and roll back faulty code.

Bootstrapping Microservices, Second Edition: With Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and Terraform
Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes to files and coordinating software development.
- How it is used
- Uses Git to obtain runnable project code and support everyday software development.
- How deep it goes
- Explains installation checks and repository cloning, but defers broader Git usage beyond obtaining code.
- Examples
- Demonstrates git --version and git clone against chapter repositories hosted on GitHub.
- What you can do after
- Operate Git to verify installation and clone working project repositories onto a local machine.
