Running the Git Bash shell on a Windows system gives you access to much of the power of Linux without the headaches of administering a virtual machine or setting up a dual-boot system. Learn how easy it is to install and configure Git and the Bash shell, and the power of many of the Linux utilities that are included with your installation.
Learn the basics of Bash shell scripting, and the many conveniences that Bash provides for its users, such as easy command history manipulation, auto-completion, and job control, while continuing to use your favorite graphical tools. Freely cut and paste between your command line window and your favorite Windows applications.
If you wish, learn the basics of the Git version control system as well, but rest assured that you can get all the benefits of using Bash without having to learn Git at all.
Become a Command Line Commando, and never fear the command line again!
AUTHOR'S NOTEWhile much of this book applies to using Bash on any operating system, Linux and Macintosh users will probably already be familiar with a lot of the material. Windows users, especially those who are hesitant to work from the command line, will get the most benefit from this book. While the Git version control system and the Bash shell are conceptually two separate products, one Windows installer will provide you with both, along with dozens of additional Linux utilities.
One of the challenges for an author is not only deciding what material to cover, but also what to leave out. Thoroughly covering all the topics involved would have resulted in a 1500-page book. Instead, I have tried to pare the coverage down to the essentials and ignore more advanced features that many people will never use. However, I have retained some of the more advanced topics such as regular expressions, which are critical for programmers to understand, and which will reappear in many other contexts. If you don't agree with my choices, feel free to skip sections that aren't appropriate for your needs.
You will notice that I haven't stuffed the page with fake reviews from friends who haven't even read the book. So if you order it and find it useful, I would be very grateful if you would take a few minutes to post a positive review. And in the event you don't like it, well, I hope you can at least offer some constructive criticism. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the book!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to MusicMagpie, Stockport, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
