The first edition has the best index. Unfortunately the second addition has a very weak index, which makes it difficult to use as a reference. You won't miss the second edition (which I have also purchased). It has 175 more pages, but I haven't found anything in it that I've needed and haven't found in this first edition (the diagrams are larger, but that doesn't contribute to that many more pages). The first edition includes things like "Cherry Picking", "Sub-networking", "External Tools", and "Hooks".
-- My Original Review --
Easy read, very lucid, thorough, and to-the-point. What more could I ask?
The first edition is the best book on Git that I have found, and I've purchased a LOT of them.
I've read several tutorials on git and have found none as clear and to-the-point as Scott Chacon's "Pro Git".
I'm a very experienced Subversion user and administrator; and feel that, in two partial days I understand and can do everything in git that I've done in svn.
In addition, Scott Chacon avoids all of the inaccurate put-downs of Subversion that are so prevalent in the other Git books -- a shame, since Subversion has similar lightweight branching, copying, tagging as git, and a fully editable off-line local workspace (admittedly, unlike many of the earlier server-based tools, such as CVS, SCCS, RCS, ClearCase, VSS, TFS, etc.). Git has the advantage over Subversion of being a distributed system for local/personal projects and for the ability to integrate local repository operations into a remote repository almost seamlessly.
I'm not sold on the value of git's history-cleanup operations that everyone seems to love -- they just seem to be an opportunity for users to create problems unnecessarily that are irrecoverable, or difficult to recover from. However, I'm not yet a git guru, so I'll withhold judgement on that. Again, Scott Chacon avoid's the proselytizing and sticks to teaching the functionality and benefits of git; which I appreciate -- especially compared with the other git references I've read.
This book has given me so many reasons to hold git high above all other version control systems.
Although I am comfortable with various graphical wrappers, I've also always prefered the Git Bash interface, perhaps because I've always liked Bash's simplicity and elegance, having played around with various flavours of Linux over the years.
With that out of the way, what did I think of this book?
I thought I was pretty knowledgable about Git before. I was wrong.
This book is a fantastic reference, and it showed me that the things I was using Git for barely constitute 10% of everything it's capable of. It's not like I've been doing this <i>wrong</i> necessarily; it's just that there are so many better ways to achieve many of the things I've been trying to do. For example, I knew about rebasing, but I've always been a bit afraid of it. I'm going to be using it more from now on (although as the book points out, I'm going to avoid rebasing anything I've already pushed up).
I also can't tell you how many times I've made a commit, forgot to add a file, and then had to make a second commit immediately afterwards. I'll be using <b>git commit --amend</b> more often now.
Finally, I can't wait for an excuse to use <b>git bisect</b> to find the exact commit where something stopped working!
Another thing I never really understood is why you would use <b>fetch</b> and not <b>pull</b>. Although I now understand the difference much more clearly, I'm still going to keep using <b>pull</b> (perhaps with <b>--rebase</b>, though), since I don't remember ever being in a situation where I had more than one remote for my repository.
This book is staying on my e-reader, and I'll be referring back to it constantly.
On the downside, the formatting of the Kindle Edition isn't great. I like to read white text on a black background because of my visual disability--I need the contrast--but for some reason, clickable URLs in this book (and there are many) are coloured in dark orange. Also, the code samples are a bit difficult to follow at times, because they're indented and don't flow very well on the large font size I tend to use.
Speaking of code samples, all git commands embedded in the narrative are formatted in fixed-pitch font (which is a good thing), but that formatting is inconsistent, so you sometimes see things which you think are supposed to be part of the command, but they're actually part of the narrative, or vice versa.
And the index at the end isn't linked, which makes it completely useless since there's no way to click on a term to go directly to that chapter.
Other than that, it's an entertaining and informative read. I nodded and smiled a few times, as the authors describe some pain I've already been through, but I stared at the screen and went "Wow! I never knew that." many more times that that.

Es gibt sehr gute und vor allem schnell zu verstehende Grundlagen zu git und dem Arbeiten damit.
Kann das Buch wirklich allen empfehlen.
Noch ein kleiner Tipp: am besten nebenbei in einem Test Repo mitmachen :)
It explains the concepts you need to understand git very well, starting from beginner's difficulty and increasing difficulty along the way. I already had an idea about how git worked but wasnt an expert by any means and was able to follow with relative easy. Recommend!
