Git for the Working Analyst: Track Changes, Review SQL and Python, and Recover Without Guesswork

By: Stas Kolod

Make each change understandable. Git for the Working Analyst helps you turn scattered queries and scripts into a history you can inspect, share, and recover. It is written for analysts who already edit SQL, Python, or other text files and want a practical way to manage their work.
Practice the decisions that matter. Follow two fictional colleagues through a small, fully explained project. Choose what belongs in a commit, compare branches, exchange work through local repositories, resolve conflicts, and catch a clean merge that breaks a calculation. Learn when to restore, reset, revert, or stash, then use the reflog and bisect to investigate mistakes.
Prove that the handoff works. Twelve guided labs, eight diagrams, complete project files, and worked command sequences lead to a tagged release that you restore and check in a separate folder. The tiny dataset lets you verify the expected result yourself.
A focused command-line route. Exercises use Linux, Bash, Git, and Python 3 with its standard library. You need a text editor and basic terminal familiarity; no online repository, account, paid service, or external download is required for the core project. Build the habit of inspecting the current state, preserving what matters, and checking the result of your next action.
