What is Git

Distributed Version Control

Fast (small C core)

Popular (Github)

Stupid Content Tracker

Benefits

Easier Merging

Cheap fast branching

Checkout size

Maintains an easily usable history

Redundancy by default

Why Merging Tracking MattersHistory Matters

Why did Bob change 10 files in his branch 3 weeks back?

Why did you change some of the same files in yours?

How will you know a year down the road?

File Based Change Tracking

Changeset Tracking

✴Git treats all your changes as a single ChangeSet.✴It uses a SHA-1 hash of the changes to identify them✴Eg: commit 7ef55e41f1cf529e47723d869233492077c94896

Stupid Content Tracking

Simple object relationships.

Tree (folder) -> Blob (file data)

Commits -> Trees

Refs (Branches)

Refs -> Commits -> Trees -> Blobs

Staging

The Index (Staging Area) allows you to organize

Does the comment make sense for the commit?

Centralized Workflow

Central Repository is treated as a hub for changes. It would drive automated builds.

Distributed Workflow

You can pull from any compatible* source

Branch & Merge tracking

Branch with changes

Merged Tree

Rebase?

Take my commits and replay them after the HEAD of another branch.

Windows Tools

TortoiseGit

Git Extensions

msysgit

Git Cheetah

git-gui

Live Demo Time.

Notes from the Trenches

Learning curve

Server setup easier on linux

Submodules != svn externals

Watch our for detached HEAD

Be EXTREMELY careful with a force push.

Force things at your own risk.

Why I choose Git.

Merging with history

Quick branch switching

Stashing and Staging

Best SCM I’ve used so far.
