Hi everybody, here's the author typing. Happy to answer any questions!

I'm considering learning Git for managing my school-related stuff written in LaTeX such as notes, small assignments and big, collaborative papers. Should I?

Sure, you're not limited to code when using Git. Especially when collaborating with others (and more so when working with plain text files), Git can help a lot. I'd suggest you give it a try; both Git and the online version of our book are free!

Thanks for this.

A little nitpick: "Git is the best version control system currently available." hmm, blanket statement. I can think of scenarios where another VCS is more suited.

Thanks for this, I use Perforce http://www.perforce.com/ but I've always wondered about using Git. Now I don't have an excuse not to give learning about it a go.
