Hands on with Git
Git is an open source, distributed version control system designed to
handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and
efficiency.
Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do.
Git is used for version control of files, much like tools such as Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and Visual SourceSafe.
This presentation will take you on a guided tour in the magical land of git, showing some examples of how to use it, touching some of the reasons git might be preferred over alternatives, and hopefully inspire more people to tap into the power and potential that git offers software development and developers.
