Git allows for easy versioning and branching. It has advantages over centralized version control systems like SVN in being faster, supporting a philosophy of frequent branching and merging, and making debugging and integration of changes less painful. Key concepts of Git include the working directory, staging area, and local repository. Branching allows developers to work in stable environments while integrating new features. Remote repositories allow sharing work between local and server repositories through commands like git remote, git pull, and git push. An example workflow has contributors pushing changes to their own public copies, then having a maintainer integrate changes by pulling and merging before pushing to the main repository.

1. Easy versioning with GITYes it can

2. No! No different! Only different in your mind.You must unlearn what you have learnedMaster YodaGit from day to dayBeforeNowsvn upgit pullsvn commitgit commitIs this really harder than before ?

3. Why have we changed ?Chaotic centralized workflowMerge / Debug is painfullToo much regressionsWhy GIT ?Because GIT is …Trendy (not really a good reason…)Easy to useAmazingly fastIt comes with an entire philosophy/workflow

4. Reminder about key conceptsWorking directory (aka working tree => WT)Your own file system

5. Staging area

6. Snapshot of the diff that will be committed on next “commit”

7. Repository

8. GIT storageReminder about key concepts

9. Reminder about key conceptsUntrackedGIT doesn’t know about this file

10. Unmodified

11. File in WT is the same than the one from the repository

12. Modified

13. File in WT has been modified and not committed yet

14. Staged

15. File is ready to be committed and will become unmodified afterReminder about key concepts

16. BranchingWhat for?Work in an environment as stable as possibleAvoid conflict that slow productivity (for others)Being able to integrate new features one by oneThis is true for every versioning tools !But GIT is amazingly fast for these branching operation (so fast that the “cheap branching” has appeared)

17. Branchinggit branch iss53git checkout iss53…git commit

18. Branchinggit checkout mastergit merge iss53

19. BranchingOne branch for the stable releaseOne branch for development (testing)One branch per topic (short development) branched from the dev branch
