Git - The stupid content tracker
For the October meeting, Robert Boone gave a presentation on the
git
distributed version control system. He also answered
questions from the audience.
In addition to explaining the mechanics of working with git, Robert spent a fair amount of time helping the audience to understand the reasons for using a distributed version control system and the general flow of working with one.
Most of the audience was very comfortable with more traditional, non-distributed version control systems, like Subversion or CVS. Despite initial skepticism, by the end of the talk the audience appeared convinced that they should give git a try.
The slides for Robert's talk are available as HTML.
