= 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://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-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.
We used to be able to build .mobi files (Kindle), but cannot do so now, see #1496 for more information.
If you run the following you _may_ actually get HTML, Epub 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 PDF...
-- PDF output at progit.pdf
