This is a humane introduction to git and version control systems in general. We recommend starting here.
A good overview of Git, how it works, and how to use it.
This is pretty good too.
A good reference that indexes by use cases (as opposed to Git command).
A brief description of most, if not all, of the Git commands, organized by use cases. This is a good place to consult when you get used to using Git.
A good reference site that includes brief descriptions on the more common git commands.
There are a number of graphical browsers for git. The one installed on our lab platform is Gitk, whose manual is above.
A clear description of x86 assembly language and assembly
language in general, including some stuff you ideally know already.
You might prefer to read this on line, rather than print it out; it's a
quick read. Warning: This book uses "Intel" assembly syntax, in
which instructions are written "instr dst, src"; we will use
"AT&T" assembly syntax, in which they are written "instr src,
dst". You don't need to read the following sections, which will
not be needed for class: 1.3.6-1.3.7, 1.4, 1.5, 5, 6, and 7.2.
A short and sweet description of how to use inline assembly instructions with GCC. Includes a description of the "AT&T" assembly syntax used by GCC.
Much shorter than the current Intel Architecture manuals,
but describes most of the processor features we'll use. The original was
a flat text file that used the PC Line Drawing characters for
diagrams; this, and many other versions, are available on the
net. JOS uses the following 486-and-later features, which you
can read about in the IA-32 manuals: The
%cr0 register's WP bit (Volume 3).
The latest and longest documents from Intel.
Covers both the "classic" 32-bit x86 architecture and the new 64-bit extensions supported by the latest AMD and Intel processors.
Our kernel runs ELF executables; this is the definitive standard for how these executables are constructed.
