Fort Lauderdale · November 27 - 30, 2012
About this Presentation
Git is a powerful content tracker and has gained acceptance by many forward leaning consultants and teams over the past several years. Those developers know that it offers the usual commit, branch, merge and tag in a distributed environment, and yet, only a few developers have explored the more powerful functions of Git. These range from searching months of history for a unit-test bug to undoing literally any mistake to splitting in-progress work into multiple commits within a single file.
This talk is targeted at developers who have dabbled with the basics of Git but are aiming to explore, gain productivity secrets, and push the very limits of this life-changing version control system.
