I did a quick read through and it looks like another interesting edition, thank you! I couldn't see any obvious issues with it. There is quite a lot of discussion in the support section, which I really like. The following sections pack a lot in, but I think could warrant a little more discussion themselves. For example, I think it would be good to add a brief discussion about the 2.5 release. This seems important/interesting enough to provide a bit more context in the edition itself. Perhaps something like the following? --8<-- ## Releases * Git 2.5 is out! The project maintainer, Junio C. Hamano, has [shared his thoughts on the release at his blog](http://git-blame.blogspot.de/2015/07/git-25.html). Git 2.5 is packed full of new features, and includes contributions from 21 new contributors. In his post, Junio describes how `git help` has changed: > One interesting change is to git help. We now list commands, grouped by the > situation in which you would want to use them. This came from discussion on > usability, inspired by one of the talks at GitMerge conference we had in > spring. He goes on to talk about some of his favourite new features included in the release, such as a new short hand `branch@{push}` that "denotes the remote-tracking branch that tracks the branch at the remote the branch would be pushed to", and a new option `--ws-error-highlight` that can be used with `git diff` and friends to show whitespace breakages in deleted and context lines. Be sure to see the post for more on the new features, or checkout the [release notes in the source](https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.5.0.txt) for all the nitty gritty details. --8<-- I'll copy this over to a pull request so you have it there if you think it's useful. Again, thanks for the edition, love reading these each month!
