I've just finished reading it, and would second that recommendation. There's also "Git - Ry's Git Tutorial", which I found as a Kindle freebie, and is probably better than Pro Git for the absolute beginner, although I would recommend both. But for the OP, read these books, and learn to use branches. This is the classic Git workflow - every little task should have its own git branch on your developer machine. Switching between branches is almost cost-free, and then when you're ready to submit your work you rebase to the latest master, squash your branch into a single commit (if it's not too big), and upload it for review and committing. An experienced developer might have 10 or 20 topics on the go - each in their own separate branches. That way work doesn't cross-contaminate - you don't want to accidentally upload a half-baked development because you had to upload an unrelated emergency bug-fix ... :-) Cheers, Wol ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
