Hi Experts

Could you explain what is the purpose of "Docker" use and recommend some good references on it?

Is it in some manner near "git" ?

From a day to another I had to start using this software.

There's a "pletora" of materials on internet but some of them could be more adequated.

Thanks in advance.

Frankly, my head is not big enough to wish to use the all-wrapping beasts like Docker (if you mean the https://www.docker.com/).

On the other hand, Git is just perfect tool for any developer, in my opinion. To put it together, Docker uses Git for the purpose that was given to Git by its authors. However, Docker adds tools and the other things to make every IT boss of a big company happy (in my opinion).

I can answer your questions about Git, but I do not have experience with Docker. Is your question related more to Docker or to Git?

Hi

In my case Docker  is imposed by the client/ project. I have to use it...
OK. Then Git is only the part of the "Developer Toolkit". I know nothing about the rest. Anyway, if you feel that you should learn more about Git, the Pro Git book (on-line and also PDF for free) is a very good way to learn about it.
But,  more specifically on Docker itself... any other suggestions?
Sorry, I know nothing about Docker. You have to wait for the comment of the others.
