Advanced 'git'

I have been using git for a few years now, but I wanted to gain more background knowledge and learn about more complex workflows. The book “Git in Practice” succeeded in this to some extent, yet I somehow have the feeling that there must be more to it.

As an example, I wanted to know how to permanently remove large files from the repository and the history. Furthermore, “git replace” is not mentioned.

Well, I still learned a lot from this book, and the topics are well-described and explained. People with a basic knowledge of git will find this book a worthwhile read. However, experts will not benefit much from it.
