Thanks Greg! I've been using Git for a few projects this past year to
maintain a consistent code base between my work and home computers and a
Bitbucket repo. There was some confusion at the beginning where each
computer couldn't find the most recent source--because Git is designed as a
distributed repo, not client server with locks.
You really need to understand branching and merging in order to truly get
Git to bow down to you.
I look forward to reading the same book and downloading your quick
reference card.
