Summary

In this chapter, we became aware of the effective ways to use Git. I personally consider this chapter the most important for a new Git user, because it applies some rules and discipline so that you will obtain the most from this tool. So, pick up a good workflow (make your own, if necessary), and pay attention to your commits. This is the only way to become a good versioning system user, not only in Git.

In the next chapter, we will see some tips and tricks to use Git even if you have to deal with Subversion servers. Then, we will take a quick look at migrating from Subversion to Git.
