= Pro Git, Second Edition
Welcome to the second edition of the Pro Git book.
You can find this book online at: https://git-scm.com/book
Like the first edition, the second edition of Pro Git is open source under a Creative Commons license.
A couple of things have changed since open sourcing the first edition. For one, we've moved from Markdown to the amazing AsciiDoc format for the text of the book; here's an https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/syntax-quick-reference/[AsciiDoc quick reference].
We've also moved to keeping the translations in separate repositories rather than subdirectories of the English repository. See link:TRANSLATING.md[the translating document] for more information.
== How To Generate the Book
You can generate the e-book files manually with Asciidoctor. If you run the following you may actually get HTML, Epub, Mobi and PDF output files:
$ bundle install $ bundle exec rake book:build Converting to HTML... -- HTML output at progit.html Converting to EPub... -- Epub output at progit.epub Converting to Mobi (kf8)... -- Mobi output at progit.mobi Converting to PDF... -- PDF output at progit.pdf
You can generate just one of the supported formats (HTML, EPUB, mobi, or PDF). Use one of the following commands:
To generate the HTML book:
$ bundle exec rake book:build_html
To generate the EPUB book:
$ bundle exec rake book:build_epub
To generate the mobi book:
$ bundle exec rake book:build_mobi
To generate the PDF book:
$ bundle exec rake book:build_pdf
