system, initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for the Linux kernel
development. GIT is used to handle everything from small to very large projects
with speed and efficiency.It is well known fact that GIT is now
the most widely used source code management tool, used by enterprises, startups
and individuals from all around the world.This full day intermediate-level workshop will go through the
basics of GIT and then deep-dive into the more advanced topics related like
best practices and more advanced usages of it.Why Do You Need GIT For Source Code Version Control? Version Control lets you track your files over time.
Why do you care? So when you mess up you can easily get back to a previous
working version. Large, fast-changing projects with many authors need a Version
Control System to track changes and to avoid general chaos. Version
Control does the following:Backup and Restore. Files are saved as they are edited
and you commited. You can checkout your files to any date and time. Synchronization. Lets developers share files and stay
up-to-date with each other latest version.Short-term and long-term undo. You can go back to the
“last known good” version in the repositoryTrack Changes. As files are updated, you can leave
messages explaining why the change happened (stored in the VCS, not the file).
This makes it easy to see how a file is evolving over time, and why.Sandboxing. You can make temporary changes in an
isolated area, test and work out before “checking in” your changes.Branching and merging. A larger sandbox. You can branch
a copy of your code into a separate area and modify it in isolation (tracking
changes separately). Later, you can merge your work back into the common area.
Key TakeawayComparisons between various source controls (eg GIT vs
SVN)Learn the basics of distributed source controlLearn the various workflows, branching models to allow
seamless and effective collaboration between developers who might be in various
separate locationsLearn how to debug and resolve source code conflicts
(eg using git reflag)Tips and tricks, and best industry practices (eg issues
to be wary of in the long run, configurations that will essential, UI tools)
