Introduction to Git
Welcome to the new world of version control; true distributed software development with a truly distributed version control tool. Git is an open source version control tool which is light years ahead of subversion when compared feature to feature. The best part is it can work with Subversion as a host repository.
This session will go through a number of version control strategies and concerns in order to demonstrate how Git supports these situations, even where other tools fail. This session will demonstrate the following capabilities of Git:
- Git repository setup
- Working off-line
- Working with a team
- Code Reviews
- Git Log / Status
- Interactive updates
- Branching and Merging
- Creating a Patch
- Working with Subversion
