Introduction to GIT

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.
