Description (required)

A hands-on intro to Git and collaborating on a team with Git.

Git is an open source and free Source Code Management System (SCM) (a.k.a, Revision Control System or 'the stupid content tracker'). It is used to store your code (or any documents really) and manage the versions of that code through the development lifecycle. More specifically, it’s a Distributed Revision Control System, which means when you have a copy of the code, you actually have a copy of the entire repository.

• Speed: Git is very fast!
• Forks, Branches and Merging: work on copies of code and merge when your new work is stabilized.
• History: track the history of code over its lifespan.
• Work Online or Offline: Git keeps the entire repository locally on your machine so you can work online and even when you're offline (commits and all).
• Collaboration
• Popularity and Community Support: Git is easy, it’s also supported by innumerable tools and services and has become something of a de facto standard.
• Git is a flexible and powerful, used in many different ways.

Topics include but not limited to:

• installing Git
• Git basics
• Git swagger
• practicing good Git hygiene
• playing nicely with others
• Github basics
• contributing to open source
