Introduction to Git

Scott Chacon (17.Feb.2010 at 11:00)
Talk at Symfony Live Conference 2010 (English - US)

This talk will cover what Git is and how it differs from Subversion or
Perforce. We will go over why it’s so powerful and how it turns source
control from a necessary annoyance into a powerful development tool.
We will cover the technical underpinnings of the system, common tips
and best practices for getting the most out of Git and ways to use Git
that you may not have thought of before – as a pure
content-addressable filesystem. Attendees will leave with a better
understanding of Git and hopefully a new way of thinking about how to
work.

It was a bit fast but it was great presentation if you read the "Pro Git" book or already had some basic idea about what Git is.

Thought the presentation was perfect - I have no experience of Git but it gave a great overview of the key concepts and I can go find more details online. Thanks, Scott.

Ps. Why is it called "Git"? It's not a very pleasant name!

Have been using Subversion for a few years, but have been interested in trying Git. I found this presentation to be very clear and understandable, and highlighted all the reasons why I should be using Git rather than subversion. Well presented, laid out and timed. Not at all too complicated, and not at all too simple either.
